Gratz to the blue sky team, it’s very hard getting a social media app to gain traction.

However, after messing around with twitter and mastodon, I really do not get the appeal. All the incentives are not to have meaningful conversation, rather it is all about engagement.

It’s way too much noise and not for me.

It strictly depends on who you follow. Follow people who have something to say, and you'll have meaningful conversation.

You could be right but these platforms have not historically been about long form discussions, rather quips and glib remarks to drive clicks.

Follow serious people and you can have serious conversations.

If I follow only serious people, can I see their posts in chronological order (aka algorithm free), and without anything extra "recommended"?
