Old Facebook worked out great, so this should be a positive force for good as well.

#12Ah, see, you didn’t recreate it just because of the interface; you recreated because it’s currently a high-trust social environment, because your friends and family are using it, because they know who you are. Old Facebook was high-trust because we all were naive and trusting. Perhaps the question is how to continue to create high-trust environments from a social perspective, not an interface perspective.
I think the 'sending posts directly to people' which mimics the way memes are sent on instagram helps a lot with this. If I know exactly who the audience is for what I'm sending it definitely makes it more comfortable.

Honestly I wouldn’t take that too seriously, I think the whole triplet “not A, not B, not C” has been extremely common when talking about problems people are passionate about, and it’s a shame that crappy AI prose has trained people to treat it as a marker of AI. But it’s a exactly because that was effective in popular texts that AI has picked it up.
As long as the post isn’t this repeated 15 times like an AI would, just write how you want to write and most people will like it just fine. It’s a shame that we have to tone ourselves down nowadays.

It's fine, that's very reasonable language. Just ignore the AI writing detectives. We're in a world now where there will always be one, and their comments are typically low effort and without value. Good job on making something.

#17I think this is cool! Maybe not your focus, but is there a place for using AI to help figure out who to send photos to / which pockets to send to?

I completely agree, my only issue with WhatsApp is that when I get a message, I need to read it immediately and its 50/50 whether its important or just a random link to something. For me at least, the reason Instagram messages work is I can ignore the notification because I know its definitely not important and just something funny to look at later.

Features of Old Facebook:
- It's a photo album. Anyone who can view your page can see your photos.
- You can also post status updates.
- It publishes a list of your friends. Anyone is free to check that out.
- Your friends can write on your wall, where anyone can see what they wrote.
- It publishes your biographical data: where you go (or went) to school, where you work, whether you're single, and if not what kind of relationship you're in.
- You belong to a number of "groups". The groups don't organize activities or act as chat channels; their purpose is that your page displays a list of the names of the groups to which you belong, and that list is an expression of your personality and/or ideological commitments.
Which of those do WhatsApp groups do?

#20What about RSS and feed readers? Where you also can read posts from the domains you think you know.
