Even tho your idea isn't bad, following and using #hashtags is way more important in my opinion and might have a way better/interesting result.

The tool #hashtag has been destroyed but actually it works against "follow me follow you", idolatry, narrowing the input of your mind because you only are exposed to what your peers are exposed.

The tw and fb world is a world of "influencers". You really just want to recreate that out here?

why?

It's my belief that the ability to "rebroadcast formerly censored news" is an important thing social media does. Maybe the MOST important. (e.g. police brutality videos, etc)

If the price one pays for that is "influencer bullshit," I mean I'm not in love with it -- but I think it's still worth it.

> "influencer bullshit"

Also, "influencer" = single persons are single point of failures.

You take out MLK, or JFK, or Malcom, or twitter and in the first place everything crumbles down and it takes time and effort to rebuild, recreate and restructure.
It's like the graph about centralized and decentralized.

Do you want people to become free, think and evolve for themselves or do you want them to be "followers"?
