I like your perspective. It reinforces and states more bluntly what were my thoughts on this topic. But the app is partly a social commenting app, with reddit style comments. And for some other features, there are some one-on-one communications that need to happen. For now, those conversations happen out of band ( discord, ... ). Users that are out of the loop just miss out and even users that are in the discord room keep asking for in-app messages regularly. That's why now, it's on the todo list.

The company I work for has had (for many years) an internal feed mechanism, where you can create groups and posts, like and reply, etc. Post COVID, 99.99% of the company is using Teams for quick sync chats, WhatsApp for company broadcasts, and email for longer term async chats. We're probably going to deprecate the feed mechanism. My takeaway is unless your solution is so compelling that it will draw people away from these existing platforms and the network effect that draws them into them, its not worth the effort.
