@taylorlorenz Post News isn't social media.

Or rather, it is, but it shouldn't be, and it's not going to succeed as social media.

It's a weird alt combo version of Substack (without the mailing lists), twitter, and wordpress. It's news articles and pet pictures, and paid news articles. I get that it's still "beta" (pre-alpha would be a more apt description), and the social aspects are beyond lacking. No notifications when "friends" post, no continuity.

maybe "cleaner looking, messier working, harder to navigate tumblr" would be more apt. The platform feels flaky and unlikely to scale much larger without a complete re-write, and redesign.
