@GottaLaff @MelissaJPeltier I see pros and cons. It is basically still a beta with a lot of work to do. Plainly, they rolled it out too fast because they wanted to seize the moment. It's hard to follow threads. The notifications process is a mess. The payments system is confusing, but will no doubt have some creators salivating. Whether it ever works will be interesting. The "medium" aspect might also be interesting, but not personally what I am looking for.
I'm not yet convinced, but I haven't see the final product either. It is certainly a possibility to keep. But frankly, software is not important. Where are the creators going? That's all I used Twitter for, which was never a major platform for me as a creator. There, I was mostly a user. I only cross-posted to Twitter. What platforms will creators flock to? I can figure the rest out in terms of tech stuff. I've already disqualified a couple. I would tend to keep Mastodon and Post, although the latter is projection just now.
