I don't agree. Advertising without agreed upon standards is shitty. Back in the day with 30 minute TV programs and 8 minutes of ads, the companies had to utilize their time well. They had to write, hire, research, entertain, etc.,. I s

Definitely for profit, and I think the only way to really do things like this is for profit but with disclosure. The Ghost publishing platform is something I am quite inspire by, however, so I've explored that a bit too.

lol yeah. I used YouTube as an example based on what I see people responding to. My actual YouTube feed is pretty good since I use the Unhook chrome extension and almost exclusively watch YouTube on my TV.

Hey, thanks! I think I may have some references to old formats to fix, I'll go find them an fix them. I may also shorten the hash for these existing posts. If you're talking about the old URLs that also included account handle (e.

You gotta take risks sometimes. The opportunity cost of me working on this vs other projects is my risk. To be more precise about what I mean by exodus, I don't think that instagram is going away but I do think its utility as the de fa

Thank you! Appreciate it.

I think "want" is a strong word here. The way I have been explaining this to my friends is that back in the day, you had a phone to call your friends and a TV to find out the news. But what if your phone was your TV and your TV wa

I THINK I fixed it... should be up in 10 minutes. The reason: the try.piecesof.me flow creates a profile in a sort of exists-but-also-doesnt-exists state. Made a change so that the doc is viewable in that middle state. But anyone who claime

Hey, sorry for getting back to you late. Was watching a bunch of World Cup games. I'll say this: when you log into one of the incumbent social networks like IG/X/SnapChat/Facebook and you see a post that you don't c

While I understand what you're saying, what's the alternative? For an early platform to come out and say, "this is exactly how we're going to operate until the end of time and if we change our minds we'll... dissolv

It's pretty late tonight and thankfully HN has re-front paged this to my surprise so I'll just talk openly. The playbook that you lay out is basically the playbook every social network has come up with... and where are we now in 2

I just did some more research and we probably won't do the work until there's more demand. We can actually easily support it on desktop (we upload the raw bytes but always default to serving a compressed version, which I can overr

I actually had to look this up. Currently we don't but apparently we could support it if you upload via the web. Our mobile apps use Expo and the native image picker re-encodes the image. If you're interested still despite limitat

For sure. AI is only getting better so it's not a promise I can make but it's worth stating from the beginning. But the thing about Meta/Twitter/etc.,. is that they're financially incentivized to promote these accou

We'll have to open a committee to launch an investigation to produce a report about whether accounts held by Otherkin should be allowed. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience.

I'm going to sound a little arrogant here but part of it is because most people don't actually believe in what they're doing. I see posts of founders who write, "hey, we started a social network, but we've since piv

Doing it by hand now. Besides the site itself, I have spent most of my time building out the backend automation. I imagine I can manage the first 10k users myself and opening it up slow enough that a community itself develops and will be se

Legitimately cool project OP. As a Django developer working in the social space I'm sure I'll be referencing your workflows.

It's a big company. Their office is in the Empire State Building. My friend worked there and it was so cool to go to their floor which is one of a few that have a terrace.

I'm a developer who has largely been shielded from database related issues. Within django, I know how to create migrations, model tables, and query using the ORM but a lot of what happens is black magic to me. Now that I'm startin
