"we need to focus on nurturing conversations by giving them more visibility... people are dying for a social media site that is focused on thoughtful, robust, public conversations"

Kudos to @kenny who's been banging this drum over and over again. 

My biggest ongoing frustration here is that thoughtful text-based public conversations are still too difficult to find, follow, and resurface. 

I use bookmarks daily, but despite my best efforts, plenty of great stuff I want to return to still gets buried in the endless scroll of bookmarks and thus forgotten.

That said, I'll continue to do what I can to carve out space for great convos here, because the purple app is my ride-or-die and you nerds are my kinda people.

I still believe in the value of channels-as-cozy-corners, too (not hashtags). Yes, they're in a holding pattern for now and need a new form factor, but nonetheless I think they're directionally correct. 

Also I recently started using @cura to manage my channels, and it makes a big difference.

Thank you @danicaswanson
This is why we are building cura - to surface high signal conversations, give channels the tools (and infra) they need to actually grow and feel like the cozy corners they’re meant to be.
