Warpcast

I don’t come to Warpcast for the content. I come for the people. At its core, this is a social network - not social media and I think there’s an important distinction there. 

We certainly do need more and better content. I think we could also benefit from more ‘people first’ features like this:

fully agree with this take. when you try to compete on interesting content you're competing with X/instagram/tiktok/youtube/reddit. this will force you to play the game of engagement maximising algos which is upstream of everything we've come to hate about online social today

lots more room for innovation in connecting people

play a different game

How does one play such a game without creating engaging, high quality content?

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

when you get to know the people you engage with online, even their more menial "content" means more to you

imo just because a network doesn't optimize for engagement doesn't mean it will be devoid of engaging, high quality content

qPeople > qContent. I'm finding both here but also finding visibility hard.

Trying! I love it here so I'm happy with the small family I've found so far even if it doesn't get sny bigger.

i feel you. account discoverability is a hard problem (but worth attempting to solve!)
