Designer that codes. Also #WordStudy #Dadstr #Farmstr

In what I'm drawing for communities UX, different types of content get surfaced first depending on how much they're used in that community.

There's no reason why that cannot be used the other way around to automatically have a default filter anywhere:

1. User opens random recipe app

2. App checks for the user's communities that actually write/interact with recipes (in descending order)

3. App surfaces high signal recipes

Communities can be "this context". They're centered around interests (context) by default.

I'd filter recipes using the "Ray Peat" community I'm part of and family movies with "Based Homeschool Gang".

You don't onboard Normies by having them write a Kind1 they can never delete.

You get them started in private and let them selectively reveal themselves from there.

#groupchatfirst

Made sure to post in the groupchat community here lol

Confusion don't stop when you #interop 🙃

With an API you can actually do the computation to check for things like matching Pfp's.

Yes yes! Either that or some kind of Open Timestamp thing. But I'd prefer the Social Graph route for sure.

Impostor API would be incredibly useful.

Aaand relatively easy in terms of criteria to check.

Instagram & WhatsApp don't show anything special for your follows/contacts.

This is for a Group Chat app that puts Stories (visual media) central.

A Group-chat-first approach

I mean that over 80% of users have zero desire to post things "to the public".

Most people want to share messages, pictures, event invites, etc... to a selected group of recipients.

Sometimes they want those messages to remain private, other times they want them to be accessible to strangers (private vs public, group chat vs community).

Sovereign Swifties is the goal.

Sublime UX is the tool.

Censorship resistance is the distraction.

Meatspace:

- People get together with a small number of others they want to follow up on and build long term relationships with (family, friends, ...)

- People gather around common interests and values (concerts, conferences, sports, games...)

- People organize around common goals (building businesses, ...)

Big Tech Social media:

- People blast out messages to the universe and hope an algo, that lives on bribes, will be friendly enough to get it to the "RiGhT" people

- People consume feeds of messages curated by another algo. Since the sender didn't do the work of listing (and reaching!) the proper recipients, algos fill the void.

👉 Let people selectively reveal themselves:

1 person < private group chat < list of selected profiles < public community < multiple communities < universe
