With all due respect @cbouzy , this not the most health way of interpret the successful acceptance of new features on this platform. The reason that no one is complaining about deleted replies any more is because those who had strong enough negative reaction to that feature have left.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyBefore launching Spoutible, I said we would allow users to delete replies, and a significant number of people were upset before seeing how the feature would be implemented. Now no one cares. Same will be for AI-generated summaries.05:09 AM - Sep 28, 2023

Not sure how I feel about this one. On the one hand, wading through threads is is definitely my social platform engagement's Achilles heel. In fact, I often ignore >10 spouted threads just because I don't have time to genuinely engage with them.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyEveryone doesn't have time to read long threads, so next week, Spoutible will be the first microblogging platform to offer AI-generated summaries for threads.

Hey @cbouzy , 2 serious questions regarding the new news feature:
1) Even with the ability to choose categories and, later on, sources, aren't news feed introducing a curating algorithm into Spoutible's timeline, thus violating the whole "no algorithm"/"you are the algorithm" promise?

My understanding is that it's the equivalent of a quoted spout, which allows Spoutible users to propegate breaking (or just interesting) news through the Spoutible community faster than any other social media platform. Pretty cool 😎.

The problem with this quote, imho, is that these days, it seems moral is a subjective term. How do you begin convincing the American people that "...this breach should be closed and order restored..." when such large swaths of the population perceive each other as "...moral and physical evil..."?

@cbouzy I think the enhanced threads feature is going a bit haywire. I tried to create a 2-spout thread. The 2nd thread ended up appearing 1st and was numbered 1/2, while the 1st spout ended up 2nd and wasn't numbered at all. Can you see if you can replicate the issue when you get the chance?

@cbouzy , if I may offer a few suggestions re. the top area:
1) Remove the spouting box from the top of the timeline.
2) Move the "Echo" and "Splashback" toggles to some place in the settings,
3) Move the "Spout" (water-drop) button to the bottom toolsbar, just to the right of the "DM" button.

Alternative idea: Biden would agree to debate Trump, but under one, non-negotiable condition. Trump would have to spend the entire debate in a small, brick-walled prison cell, wearing a shirt that says "Wall built 👍," with one, reinforced-glass wall standing between him and Biden.
