I'd argue it's different because it has better privacy controls. Instead of all your content being public, it's all private and you can share it to a non Slow Social member via email. Additionally, it's a more focused, concentrated experience.
Otherwise, feel free to make blog posts. I think blogs are great.
- markstos 4y agoEmail has privacy controls and is decentralized. Just send HTML emails to the friends you want to get it.
- janfoeh 4y agoEmail is push, this is pull. For stuff below the threshold of breaking news ("grandma has passed"), it would feel awfully presumptuous to email people.
- derekzhouzhen 4y agoIt is a sad world when marketers boldly blast emails to us but we feel presumptuous to send emails to each other.
- janfoeh 4y agoWhat marketers do is between them and their conscience. If I want to write about the dozen breakfast dishes from around the world I made during Corona, I do not want to have to wonder if this is worth asking for peoples attention. In a pull model, that point is moot.
- derekzhouzhen 4y agoPrivacy is great; however requiring everyone to login adds frictions, which kill engagement. Anyway, it is always good to see someone challenging the status quo. Good luck.
- CitrusFruits 4y agoYeah, and perhaps it will too much friction in the end. Or maybe it won't be. Either way, time will tell. Thanks for your feedback!
