Agreed. Atm, I’m drawn more to Threads, where the tone and culture of the newsletter/topic is already understood and the replies/conversations are therefore more focused, juicier, and generally more engaged. I know what to expect and I’m already interested in learning more as a sub of their nl. Notes is a lot even within THIS ecosystem. It’s early, and I see the value with the Twitter of it all, but definitely “posting into the void” vibes.

sharp—it's really hard to post so publicly. the main thing, as you point out, seems to be the de-facto social network mechanic: the fact that the only way to share is to share with everyone you know or no one at all. we're trying to make a different kind of system at plexus.earth, where the only people who see the things that you post are people aren't your subscribers—they aren't everyone who follows you—but rather people who are thinking about similar things.

the broadcasting mechanic, not human nature, seems like the root of dunbar's number?
