I wish someone made social media where everyone gets one post every day. Almost no person on this planet has more than one bit of news to share daily with their extended social network — probably not even the countries' leaders. When accounts share every 10 minutes, it's often spam or some inorganic agenda. Oversharing in natural social networks is penalized heavily, and for good reason - with too much noise and litt…

- You can write and edit one post at a time.
- This post, in whatever form it has then, gets published at 8 in the morning.
- You can only see posts for today. All old content gets deleted.
- No comments or feedback is possible.
- Only symmetric relationships are possible: you can add someone, but they won't see your posts and you won't see their posts until they add you back.
- All "friend" discovery is out of band. There are no recommendations, no boosting/retweeting, nothing.
This is obviously not a mass medium, but its reductionism gives it some interesting properties that have made me consider what a good social network would be. One post a day is a fantastic idea.
(I don't know if they intend for it to be named in public, so I'll refrain.)

I think you're just describing BeReal, which went viral but kind of died out.
Great effort. But I will make the obvious point that does not seem very fashionable these days. What if we chose instead to cultivate self-discipline? This project is a technical fix to a human problem, but human problems can also be addressed with human solutions. Is there no value in doing things the time-honored way? Personally, I'm not addicted to social media but I do have a sweet tooth. The classic hack here is…
> What if we chose instead to cultivate self-discipline? I think that it can not be understated just how much self disciplin moderne people living in moderne societies are possessing. Try to compare how moderne adult people react to sweets, social media, etc. compared to kids and children. Continuing pushing this on the individual does not work. This is like saying that you can become multi billionaire by not getting…

I'm actually part of a site like this, just a thing a friend of a friend made: - You can write and edit one post at a time. - This post, in whatever form it has then, gets published at 8 in the morning. - You can only see posts for today. All old content gets deleted. - No comments or feedback is possible. - Only symmetric relationships are possible: you can add someone, but they won't see your posts and you won't se…

The "problem" with most social media is the same with F2P games: they require whales to keep them relevant
For example, in your typical gaming clan Discord server, a tenement building's WhatsApp/email group, or a small town's quarterly town hall meeting. It only takes a handful of people in such social groups for the group to serve its purpose.
Indeed, TheFacebook easily reached its critical mass when it was limited to Harvard College. Hacker News would work just as well with 500 monthly readers as it does with 5,000,000+ currently.
Whales, celebrity influencers (whether from out-of-network or homegrown celebrities), and other such things are only needed to compete with the social media giants today. But if you don't wish to compete and want to serve a small community, then this is not a problem.
