I really enjoyed @danicaswanson's article on thinking about systems for writing.

Social media is designed to highlight the ephemeral. We all know why: it keeps users addicted and scrolling the feed (which can be sold to advertisers).

But how might you design a social media experience that highlights persistence? 🤔

"...how might you design a social media experience that highlights persistence?"

Good question. Would love to hear more ideas. I know I've unintentionally dropped the ball on convos here at times (both publicly and in DCs), since I sometimes find it difficult to track the threads that interest me enough to return to later.

Been thinking about this a lot over the weekend. Lots of notes... haha! 

Few thoughts:

- better systems for flagging content you're interested in that you want to circle back to later

- cycling replies back into the feed (and balancing their score value) 

- smoother threading handling in the UI

- so many things with channels, lol

Very vague but brainstorming still.
