okay it has taken some time to get used to the new notification approach and i'm still not there yet

but i did realize a (potentially inadvertent) benefit for our mental health: 

likes are vastly deprioritized in the new approach

we're not getting little dopamine hits as often

i see folks talking about getting less engagement & being disappointed

you might not be getting less engagement, you're just getting *notified* less often!

what if we reconsidered this & looked at it from a different perspective? how can this change our relationship with social networks & identity?

It’s refreshing to see a social network do something that reduces the dopamine trap (even inadvertently). Strongly believe that web3 builders have a responsibility to learn from the mental health damage web2 has done (which is especially heavy in social media), and do things differently.

exactly! 

working on the visual identity side here (avatars/game assets) and feel in a really fortunate place to have so much data from the last 20+ years to hopefully correct/address where things have gone wrong in the past around representation, creative expression, connection etc

couldn't agree more! there's so much opportunity to do things differently

like teaching the younger generation about curating an onchain identity, the permanence of data, how to focus on the important things (connection), etc
