Oof, the bastard love child of Reddit and Twitter feels like the media equivalent of a Doritos taco at Taco Bell. Either one of those ingredients could already drag me into a nauseous shame spiral on their own, but with their powers combined, I'll only have the courage to try it once or twice before I'll feel like I need to go on a serious cleanse, lol.

You're aware Twitter is in the middle of a death rattle, right?

I already use a reddit-like way to browse Twitter. It also pilfers all the best content from every other social media too.

It's called Reddit.

Some platforms are shitty but still the only way to get information. Cant tell you how many restaurants only use facebook pages or how many police and fire departments basically only use twitter/facebook for communications

Why are people trying to help Twitter be better?

Twitter is an enclave of useless opinions, misinformation, racism, and promotional material for pornography that's being made moreso by a billionaire who has no interest in helping the world be a better place.

Bit of feedback if you're interested...

The Trending scroll could be a bit slower. Can't really get a gist of what is flying past.

Ok but we need to admit Twitter's top content is an oxymoron

The “Trending Tweets” scroll way too fast; can’t even read the short ones.

Awesome idea! I signed up for pro notice.

That's a great way to structure a whole lot of bullshit, I give you that. ;;)

The truth is nothing survives for long at all. Even Facebook managed to crash their entire subnetwork. It was so bad I heard that the sys admins couldn't get through the doors to the server room because it killed every key card and door lock they had. Many things in tech are like that; one mistake away from utter chaos.

The threads of tweets should look like Twitters version IMO (just ranked and sorted by you)

Is there any way to search for sub-communities?

Lets say I just saw something cool about my favorite show and wanna see what people are talking about in it's community:

How would i find out about the new square enix game?

Is this something going to be in Pro? Cause I feel like putting basic functionality like that might leave your attempt DoA.

Cause if I can do that with a google chrome extension on twitter, why pay for it?

The truth is as someone who has worked on large scale networks for many years. Shit is perpetually broke. But generally there is enough redundancy to mask those issues.

And for code pushes there are generally multiple levels validation and approval before things roll out.

Even then, there will be bugs. No process is perfect.

Very cool, just used the machine learning section to sign up for the new ai video thing on there!

Suggestions: It would be great to see different languages, although I understand that it could be a lot of work. Also, Mastodon needs things like this.

TheJocktopus t1_j7xw69s wrote

One suggestion that comes to mind is to add a "comedy" community, if that's possible. A lot of the most popular stuff on Twitter is just funny and doesn't have to do with any niche interests.

it's not a real social media site unless there is a place for pro wrestling fans to yell at each other.

Would be cool to create my own categories or for it to generate a best of based on my account's own follows

Kevin gave me my first gmail account when it was in beta. He wanted to see what happened when someone filled up their inbox; Gmail was offering 1gb and at that time 1gb of email storage was unheard of. If you sent him a large enough email, he responded with an invite.

Props to you man 👊🏾
