It's time you stopped creating accounts to prosecute this fixation on HN.
non content related feedback I like how minimalist the UI is, but I might want a little bit of padding on the sides? I feel like HN does that part pretty well even though it's a little more decorated than this. Also it wasn't obvious to me that the website is sort of a "preview" of the front page and the app is the main platform, i'll have to check that part out too.
The site serves mostly to allow people to share public posts and profiles from the app.
The biggest piece of feedback I think I have gotten from posting here is that the nsfw content is a bit shocking which I get. Sorry about that. My guess is that if you just scrolled twitter or whatever by new exclusively unfiltered you wouldn’t have that different an experience. On the one hand I do think there is something interesting about the rawness of this network but also some sort of smart nsfw filtering is cl…
Otherwise you could run afoul of various laws, since technically minors can access it
Let’s say this network continues to grow; how do you anticipate funding its future operations?

You probably shouldn’t show NSFW to non-logged in users. Otherwise you could run afoul of various laws, since technically minors can access it
What’s wrong with Grindr, the biggest app for queer and trans people to meet?
I... am not sure if this is a joke or not. Grindr is not a community or posting tool. It's a hookup app.
> It has grown in the last year to about 4,000 monthly active users. I think it could grow way beyond that this year. Is it really a good idea to paint a bullseye on this group in the US right now?
How is creating or operating a community “painting a bullseye” ? And tbh now more than ever I think it’s important for communities like this to exist.
The new administration in the US is openly hostile, and a lot of damage could be done to peoples' lives if, say, the community was hacked and private email addresses (or other PII) was leaked.
And I also agree with you -- now's the time for those of us who can afford it, to fly our ally flags as loudly and proudly as possible.
OP: Please make sure your secure coding and operational security practices are excellent and meet the challenge here.
Good work! Let’s say this network continues to grow; how do you anticipate funding its future operations?
I think I have engineered it all to scale well, and I don't anticipate costs increasing. The plan right now is to not run ads, and to make almost all features free for all users in perpetuity.
