I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any more… but I like the shape of what is starting here.

likewise. Its just nice to have an "even playing field" without any perceived hierarchy or weird material incentives to perform the way you'd be pushed to on regular SM.

i like to see it as the "IRC" of SM. Plain text, on the background, not much going on but not too little. A companion through the day.

yeah, I imagined I wasn't the only person that finds all those images and videos that autoplay nauseating.

Reminds me of the Kiwix offline Wikipedia "nopic" version. (I downloaded that version because it's much smaller than the full version that includes images.)

Images are fine for me, but should be behind a link, or a small thumbnail. Non-animated. Videos too. But that’s me. They will most likely have to be hosted elsewhere, while the thumb could be here. Nah. We are ok with just text.

Yeah, before you know it the feed becomes a collection of memes. Have to click or perhaps a browser extension that you personally see the opengraph/linked image in the feed but it's not inviting people to post them for the feed itself.
