GuestApril 5, 2026 at 3:24 pmI actually like the idea, especially the “calm” part of it.
The only thing I’d say is completely removing algorithms can work for close friends/family, but it gets tricky if people ever want to grow or reach beyond that. That’s usually where things start breaking.
Feels like the real problem isn’t algorithms themselves, it’s how aggressive and unpredictable they’ve become.
We’ve been thinking about something similar with EchoSphere – not removing discovery, but making it fair and stable so you’re not constantly chasing reach or stuck scrolling. Kind of trying to bring it back to something that feels normal again.
Curious how you’d handle growth if someone wanted to go beyond just their circle?
