Useful feedback - thanks. The content you're seeing may be misleading for what the platform really does. Let me explain. The "hot topic" thing is just chatgpt creating conversation starters. Sometimes, its' leaning left,

One of the biggest problems in local communities is how social media (usually in Nextdoor or Facebook groups) acts like acid for our social bonds. Your neighbors are looking for pancake breakfasts and kids shoveling driveways. What they get

Sorry to hear, but I appreciate the feedback. I get the wariness thing. The anon functionality is pretty different from what people have seen before and it might take a little time for people to get comfortable. Especially weird when we&#x2

Hi Greyface - We need to keep user identities safe from exposure. One attack we're preventing: people targeting a particular person by posing as a friend. Part of the defense is making sure people are using real names (when needed, we&

Startup Svb customer here. Big fan of yc. But this is just wrong. The vcs and startups (including yc) were gambling on the taxpayer dime. I’m ok helping on some of the uninsured deposits (say 80%). But rewarding people for gambling with tax

PG makes the case for speaking openly, but ultimately opts for cowardice in avoiding these conversations. I don't mean "cowardice" as a bad choice, but a reaction against the negatives of speaking out against the anti-yellowi

It's possible to avoid the froth - and get the right who. Imagine what could happen if you didn't have to deal with screech.

The benefits of thinking out loud are massive . So are the costs. The only way to sharpen your ideas is to find other humans to talk about them with. The subject barely matters - you may be dead wrong or 100% correct, but you can only know

You're thinking on the right path, but I'd suggest going wider than videogames. I built a math program in Newark that worked stunningly well because it took the level assessment/lessons/testing from Khan and gamified it.
