Google, Facebook, Apple etc are already deeply influencing the way we think. Deplatforming discussion forums for people who feel isolated and misunderstood is a bold step towards mass compliance and brainwashing. I feel sorry for radicalize

Hmm. How could we monetize this? Crowdsource the strap... Uber of abuse... Joking aside, I'm sure we can find modern-day examples of someone doing the crime and another doing the time, for a price.

Seems like a great idea, and I love the enthusiasm of the post. It's inspiring. If you haven't already, I suggest you offer a vegan (or at least vegetarian) option.

I'm worried about birds. The sky is the only safe place for them. I don't think I'm being overly sensitive either.

I like the idea. Seems like a good way to outline blog posts and whatnot. A few requests: allow for images and other attachments, include a dark mode, and charge something so it's sustainable and worth maintaining and improving.

I noticed there's no newsletter. Showing the desktop setting of the day would be a quick low friction email I would enjoy getting in my inbox.
