Damus Labs has been running a wild experiment for Purple TestFlight and we want to hear what you think! What if threads were more like chats? It’s wild, it’s crazy, it might be a horrible idea, but you know you want to try it!

Experience it soon with http://damus.io/purple 👀

Discussion

Yes

I see this as a chat and it’s fun 🤩.

I love it 💜🔥

Hmmmm interesting 🤔

Telegramus 💜🥴

👀🔥

Interesting new threading 🔥👀

GMs in the chat

$9.99/month???

freedom isn’t free

There’s a hefty fuckin’ fee.

It costs folks like you and me

It’s a bit more than a buck’o five

I know.

Oh well. I am sure as soon as people are born they are paying $9.99 for freedom and rest who don’t end up in North Korea. Make it $0.49. go for volume.

Then we should call it paiddom

have it backwards maybe?

a dom makes a sub pay

you dont pay the dom

doms get aftercare for free 🥲

this has nothing to do with damus

btw

im pretty sure will def deserves 9.99 a month

Potentially promising

Interesting 🤔

Maybe I still don’t know what I need.

How does it work with multiple people in replies? Like a group chat?

Definitely want to try this

Looks interesting 🤔

Looking forward to this!! New things can be exciting.

Super interesting! I wonder how branching discussion will appear! But we are all hear to try and let you know 🔥

🙏 excited to get your feedback

Can you give us a hint when to expect to see this?

Within 2 weeks for sure. Probably sooner. Just working through some additional internal testing. Will also be a part of other fun TestFlight things like highlights and new emoji selector etc 💜

Ooooooooooh loving it!

Tomorrow or early next week

🤦‍♀️

Hahaha… don’t worry, we are not holding anyone of the team accountable for deadline 🤣

That’s amazing!! Can’t wait!

Thank you nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 team. 🫡

I like it!

Android when?

How do I get my TestFlight access back? I have purple but no longer in the TestFlight

Heartbroken bcuz I couldn’t my account in Damus to function. Couldn’t see posts, or follow people. I’d be able to follow them and then hours later, nobody is followed. Tried to follow up and get help. I ended up t getting Primal. But I know you all still great regardless and on a mission! 🫶🙌

Can help with this next meetup, if you want to be able to switch back and forth with both.

Yes! I’ll text you. Let’s chat.

OMG I LOVE THE MOOSE!!!

Wow, that looks really good!

A telegram-like chat approach promotes the timeline, it works when there are no deep discussions, just a lot of first-level messages, *or* the discussions are limited to a few users.

If these two situations are mixed, the discussion (sub thread) is inevitably lost between the single messages.

So, the effectiveness of the chat context depends on the interaction's style among the users. Btw, today users are anyway more used to chat interfaces, so it could be preferred for a cognitive bias.

I would like to test it, maybe with a in-thread option to switch between the two modes, and so compare the difference live.

Yes! Starting bubbles from second level of replies fixes this.

Interesting option.

But probably it also promotes first level posts to gain visibility, to the detriment of contributing to an existing discussion (that is hidden behind the first level).

That's why I need those first to display like Posts,

so that they can be filtered for high signal in the first place.

Make sense. Sort sub-threads with a simple algo that takes in account replies_count, unique_users, zaps and reactions could fix that.

Also:

1. You cannot do 🧵 threads if you turn the reply section into a chat from level 1.

2. You set "chronological" as the only filter option for the reply section, since it's inherent to the Chat UI.

That said it's great to see this!

💜👏🏻💜👏🏻💜

No results for damus in the zap store 😢

No idea how that would make me feel until I try it

Interesting

When is this available on purple?
