i already regret engaging with this, but want to give some building in public perspective - building in public is hard - for every 100 people giving you feedback, max 4 know what they are talking about and you’re lucky if 1 has actually a good idea - your metrics are public so even the 96 clueless people feel like they are right if numbers go down - for every 100 people giving you feedback you have another 100 people shitting on you for trying to build something new - and there is probably 10 people in your dms fighting for the scraps of the attention - and all of them think "listening to feedback" means "adding their idea TODAY" on top of that people judge you for your financial situation, previous achievements etc as a founder you have 3 ways out of this: - stfu and start interacting with your users less - have your pr team double check everything you write - continue being yourself and post whatever you have on your mind only one option is right, even though it may lead to some hurt feelings
