A lot of comments here like "we tried this", "people didn't want this" and "that's not where things are going".
As far as I see it, the timing is perfectly ripe right now for change. People are on the lookout for nutritional, good-for-you alternatives to the sugar diet of social media we're being served. It's not everyone, but no longer just tech enabled folks either. Just because we've been going in a bad direction, doesn't mean that's how it will always go.
Maybe I'm being optimistic, but isn't that what's generally needed for positive change?

- marginalia_nu 4y agoYeah I think it's a serious trap to only look for mainstream appeal. The long tail has been severely neglected the last 10 or so years, and I think this is an opportunity to be part in creating something new. Like who cares if it doesn't become the next Facebook. Maybe that's a good thing.
- roberttod 4y agoAgree. It's always a safe prediction that the status quo is what the future looks like but thinking like that only serves to stifle innovation. I for one am very interested in alternatives, and here to support anyone helping to dig us out of where we've found ourselves.
