Ask HN: Would you use paid social media?
Yes/No/Why?
Do you think paid social media can deliver something better than Reddit/HackerNews?
Do you think paid social media can deliver something better than Reddit/HackerNews?
I’d be looking for a Twitter/Instagram replacement with: A) no ads B) no data mining C) sensible (to me) moderation/filtering tools D) right to delete E) large network with diverse viewpoints
Truth is most people won’t pay and many who will would be bad actors so E is struck.
Even if a service doesn’t data mine and has a right to delete, others will create scrapers so B and D are void.
Im tired of “being the product” and Kagi has gotten me on board with paid search, but social seems harder to solve.
re: B, D) Could data mining be okay for public feeds where people choose to be anonymous?
Could private groups be peer-to-peer encrypted so the network can't identify the participants, can't decrypt and can't mine the conversation?
If I build it will you come?
Tech twitter is terrible - doom scrolling to find something useful. Too much vim/tailwind related bs.
