I've started thinking about building an alt-client less in terms of product and more as a problem of finding social context. the best alt-clients will enforce and encourage radically different social norms than @warpcast or Twitter do today (not a criticism of either) this kind alt-client will be a digital 'fourth space' outside of work, the home, and the regular internet. a good alt-client should stand for something: it might reject growth & engagement metrics, or remove algo-feeds entirely, favoring high-touch curation above predictive content delivery. Consumption might be the enemy. an alt-client might win with fewer, higher impact DAU minutes spent on-platform these aren't easy things to get right, but they are starting off points. an alt-client succeeds only as it becomes "embedded within--and promotive of--social life" (-sam hart)

Yes! Apps can become community centers, churches, and clubs, instead of everyone trying to be the next town square.

This seems to cover some thpught I have. But can’t imagine it being “non-algorithmic”. Are there any examples or analogies here? 🤔

I feel like I’m building something like this. It’s media first and built around curation. Not engagement. (Or farming) Tryna create an entirely different vibe. Like how Pinterest is different to instagram.

does /degencast fit the bill? "Curation" is everything for degencast https://paragraph.xyz/@dgcast/introducing-degencast
