but there's just something about the way this place works that makes it Different from twitter. i feel like it doesn't lend itself to ephemeral, off the cuff stuff quite as well.
and turns out if i feel like i have to put Effort into a post, i just don't make it. i just make a bunch of drafts that i don't finish
also idk if it's just me being a humble lowbie or a more generalizable property of the website but i feel like i get way less ~interaction~ on here. i think not having the numbers public is good but seeing people "like" my posts does kinda help to motivate me to make em
i suspect the less off-the-cuff feeling may be in part because hitting post takes you to another page and you lose your spot
yeah i don't know why i feel so much more friction about Posting here than on twitter. i think it's a combination of there not being a dedicated mobile app and the fact that making a post takes you to a whole new page, i guess
fun fact: in the bottom right corner is a post button that doesn't change the page. It's what you have to use on phones but you can still click it on desktop
