😾 Oskar So, this seems less anxiety inducing than twitter. Will it live? Anxiety is addictive.

🧩 Ben twitter got started in a sort of similar way. i think it depends on getting some people on here that other people want to follow

😾 Oskar i hate twitter for either being formal echo chamber or meta level bullshit peddling. it's not like it doesn't have interesting and smart people, but we already know that Internet has those. I don't care about 'like' mashing at this point tbh.

🧩 Ben the concept of "likes" came about as this like bio-hacking dopamine shot thing to get people to engage with facebook. it creates such a perverse incentive. maybe now it's been around long enough that it's not a necessary feedback mechanism to get people to engage with something

😾 Oskar i think it's more profound than only 'likes' destroying fun and interaction. it's a veil over whole social media structure which makes you feel like you participate, but in reality you stand on the sidelines. opposite to net of 00s (i am 90s kid).
