I never wanted to make a difference
I just wanted to make animated gifs.
what if you could make another kind of post on here. select a Type II post from the dropdown menu and it makes one that acts more like Twitter, for a casual conversation. it's User's Choice whether to make a Type I post or a Type II post. You could also make a Type III post but nobody does that
If you make Type-IV posts, they have to be in the font of a Metal band
got me thinking of evangelion computer ui with this one
I've really been thinking a lot about how the major failure mode of social media is people being unable to distinguish:
Discussion RootRequest for First-Order Knowledge Of A ThingBanter among friends (you must be a friend)Article Post (comments encouraged)Joke (don't ruin it or repeat it at me)Joke (if you can read the room you can stone soup this)Serious PostPolitics / Get The Word Out (yes we all know it's capitalism, connor)Neurodiverse - Not Otherwise Specified (contextual)or, tldr, people are terrible at knowing if a post is chat or Reddit/news comments brain and it's infuriating
alsoplus like... the specific kinda shares on here that really do not understand I am a person (by volume) and have boundaries that most people do, and making my post about things that aren't sexual into sexual things crosses a line when it's not inviting that. that's the other kind of problem.
but i feel like categories would actually solve this and may end up figuring out css to make headers for them but really i wish people would just put energy into learning how to read the room I guess.
Yeah I would love if posts without titles had, a more compact UI around them so I felt more comfortable just dashing them off. I feel too intimidated by the good posts on here to just say what comes to mind, even though I know I should.
