@pixelfed Thats good design. I think making the apps less addicting is important. Though sometimes it might have to be a balancing act. Providing users with features they expect, even if they have some addicting aspects to it.
Stories is a good example, it forces users to feel the need to check in daily, but also makes users feel safer sharing content that won't stick around forever.
Maybe the balance is for stories to expire every 3 days?
