What if this place was just a platform for talking to people? What if we didn't compete for social space? What if there was actually respect for the ideas of others regardless of their social standing?
I see that possibility here. Please don't screw it up.
@Abbynormative Nope. High School.
@ChuckyX @Abbynormative Heard of VSCO? It's Instagram for hipsters who got sick of Instagram. They don't show followers/faves—looking at someone's work, you don't know how popular they are or how likes it got.
I like this—it dissuades engagement-whoring, and you can post stuff you care about, without looking like a loser because only four people liked it.
Also encourages discussion: you're not going to see someone has 700 followers and think, oh they're too royalty to talk to.
@csilverman See, that sounds awesome. @ChuckyX
@ChuckyX Possibly. Ergh.
