Gregory's Server@Gargron All thanks to your hard work. But as I think you yourself said once somewhere, it has to now evolve beyond your vision, so it doesn't succumb to the same monovision and monocultural fails that impacted Twitter.

 I have been trying to make that point to Eugen and others for 2 years. This idea that "quoting" a post is only used for "dunking" is just not a modern take. It's widely seen as one of the best features of Twitter. It needs reconsideration fast, because it's very hard to share important content without it. Twitter was not just about thoughts and opinions, but propagating information. @shoq @Gargron exactly! it’s a great way to amplify somebody’s post in a helpful context. if there was a post relevant to our discussion here, it would add enormously to our interaction to be able to drop it in as an inset quote-reply Ive had to do workarounds here in super awkward ways to support people signing up. Someone asks “Why does this feature work this way?” and we need to be able to drop in a relevant thread as a reply. Twitter figured that out only recently but it works brilliantly |
@shoq @Gargron urgent needs:
- sign-up must be frictionless, vs now it is confusing for most users —> in progress ✅
- this is supposed to be microblogging. so 2-ish posts should not take up my entire mobile screen —> more compact UI (reduce line spacing) and/or shorter character limits ◻️
- we want creators on the site. they should have an ability to build audiences or they won’t join. let them go viral ◻️
- quote-posts are not just about dunking. the experience should allow them ◻️
