     @aallan You have a fair first question: "So, it’s a write only platform? 🤔 All hail the algorithm."

     It's their first iteration, creating purely algorithmic feed is actually technically much easier than following feed. With following feed you have to:

     1. Get pub/sub working at scale
     2. Have no delay in the process

     With algorithmic feed, you can just randomize content.
