>What's to be Done with a Fleeting Note?

Is there a good way to share fleeting notes in a social network? It would be nice if good thoughts could live on their own and spread across the boundaries of minds and recombine themselves without having to be put into a solid form first.

Twitter seems to be a good start but with the focus on followers and trending tags, it seems like tweets are lost in time if they are not immediately getting attention.

Aside from being businesses based primarily in mining usage data for profit, social media platforms are basically fleeting note disseminators for its users. It's allllll fleeting notes (with obvious exceptions). If you're asking how to share your ideas, and get lots of eyes on them, and not have those eyes based on affirmation currancies like Likes and Follows, the only thing I can think of is in the fediverse or some other web-adjacent locale. I'd be curious to know what others think.
