Or not. IIRC, one of the main ethos of SSB is to establish contact peer to peer not pick them out of the crowd (or swamp).
This reminds me quite a bit of trying to find someone to email back in the early 1990s, before the web existed. I might be excited by the technology, but if there's no one to share it with, that dulls the excitement rather a lot.
So either I was completely uninteresting, or invisible, and I couldn't figure out which to start addressing it.
Maybe I'm expected to bootstrap a group of local friends and get everyone onto SSB and then we can talk using it? But if I already know them, we can just talk on IRC or whatever we already use.
I'm missing something fundamental about how this is supposed to work.
At least you can use it as a personal blog or daily journal when you write not for the purpose of getting response.
When the amount of content is built up, it will have higher chance to get response if you're still on the network, and followed the audiences back.
