Maintaining/Asking for good conduct among educated people vs A crowded network of a mix of educated, spammy keyboard warriors is different. On HN, we mostly have educated people, s…

- Singularity, Loneliness: we are already heading towards it. /future - says hi.

- Bringing your filter is nice; I will add that. - _ addictive_media: maybe some option you can turn on and off when it is addictive and when it is not, something like that?

No, I disagree. What I have seen is that - Acquiring users for the hefty discount has led the platform to think they can recover from future sales. - Assuming their buyers will con…

- Yup, local social first, since we lost that in the online game. Doing something similar on qocial.com

- Redirecting ad money towards users is like asking users to be vulnerable to get paid.

You just signed up to say that? Are you Elon Musk? Lol

Facebook has several patents related to eye tracking and gaze detection. You've probably already heard someone complaining about talking about shoes on WhatsApp and then seeing tho…

- Interesting; see what we see on today's network, like Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tiktok is not hidden settings but snooping from one platform to another, including what your eyes…

- No AI bots; agreed - No social engineering; curious what this means here - you mean no social influencing on any topic? - For freedom, the world always comes down to the jurisdic…

So, - a closed social network, where you see what you follow. - posts are usually chronological unless some posts are muted/promoted. That's a very common thing; many social networ…
