#2Not sure if it's your site, but the sign-up and magic link went straight to my GMail's spam folder, with the link removed.

Yeah, sadly I couldn't figure out how to not make it happen. The SSO OAuth providers tend to work better.
If you mark it as "Not spam" it will fix it on a case by case basis.

#4How long until this too succumbs to influencers or dies out?

If enough people start marking it as "Not Spam," would that make things better?

#6Respect the effort, but I think it's not going in quite the right direction. I don't think people need paternalistic restrictions on post frequency. People need to be liberated from engagement-optimizing algorithms and allowed to choose which activity is presented to them and in what order.

Buy my new book to find out! Or something along those lines.

#9Hey everyone, OP here.
I, like many others tend to waffle between loving and hating social media, so this is my take on what I think a better solution looks like. This is something I've been working on for the past couple of months and a concept that I think will be though provoking, if nothing else, to the HN community. If you want to read more on my thoughts and the story behind this, you can check out my blog post here: https://dev.to/duensing/introducing-slow-social-4a90
Besides that, I'm happy to answer questions and take criticism.

I'd hope so! Ideally I'd be able to send the Magic Link from my own domain, but I haven't found a way to do that yet through Supabase.
