Looks interesting. Definitely nailing the old myspace aesthetic. I’d be more curious about active users versus registered users. Social networks are usually defined by activity. Unfortunately registered users probably contains a lot of bots and spammers.

When I saw this I was like ooh noes not myspace all over again. I feel this style may actually be a hinderance for adopting more users. People really want something more reactive like Discord. Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it. It is like comparing Slack to Teams. It will be a long time before anything catches immediately up to Slack or Discord…

Discord always had a unique way of making me feel old

I avoided it because when when a ding occurred there is no indication which channel had just donged, just left me confused as to what was happening

Home page has a lot of red flags

(Does every comment need a "report comment" hyperlink? I like how HN does it, timestamps are permalinks, permalinked page has additional options to flag and favorite.)

(edit: timestamps are permalinks, at least)

(Edit edit omg people customize their profile markup like it's 2006 again)
