Let's also have zero notification whatsoever that someone answered to your comment so you have to keep engaged in constantly looking thru it manually
And once something drops off the front page, it gets seen by almost no one. I keep trying to stop myself from spending too much time on comments (editing them for clarity and grammar, finding sources that people can follow instead of just relying on my claims, rereading the person I'm responding to in order to make sure I actually got what they were saying), because it's easy to spend 30 minutes trying to make a solid comment only to find out that the whole discussion has now disappeared and no one is likely going to read it.
Another nice thing about zero notifications in our new social media app is that the development effort for that feature is very low.
the web is… not free really… but more free than the wall gardens.
i think its biggest weakness is that notifications don’t really work there.
but that bug is now a feature. nice!
