Not to criticize but the post would be most appropriate 5-7yrs ago. Nowadays this is a known secret. TikTok abandoned all posturing and came out as a purely ad driven network to make you scroll. What facebook and others say is mostly moot. They already have a diminishing user retention problem to deal with. The overall perception of these services have changed over the last five years and particularly facebook only has the volume but not the momentum anymore.
- wlesieutre 4y agoWhat's funny about Facebook's user retention problem is that if somebody built the same product that Facebook had back in 2010 I might want to use it again. Except that now we all know the trajectory that services like that seem to end up on, so I probably wouldn't.
- dont__panic 4y agoThe product mentioned in this post, Haven, seems very much like a self-hosted (optionally cloud-hosted, for a fee) 2010-era Facebook to me. The distributed nature suggests that it won't go down the Facebook path.
