Hi, Paul. Good to see you. So what I remember it being like is like somebody had posted like, thank God this website is so small that my boss isn't on here and can't see what I post. And it was like three days after I invited you. And so I was like, oh, shit. That's my recollection of this story.

So Quiet Posters is basically a feed that takes the people that you follow who don't post very often and only shows the posts from them. So some people who are mentally healthy don't post as much as someone like, say, me, who is horribly broken as a human.

And so if you want to see those good, healthy posts of the people that post, say, maybe once a day instead of once every 10 minutes, you can just load up Quiet Posters. And that way you can keep up with friends who maybe get lost in your stream because you're following too many people or whatever else.

I got three things. One, scenes sound amazing. Two, I understand why you removed them. Three, naming a feature scenes is not beating the blue skies made for 38-year-olds allegations.

I got a month left of being 38, but I've only been theater kid adjacent, so I get hit 1.5 times than a 2X on that one.

It's some real stick-out stuff. Like, they know how to make people upset, which is not like a giant, like, fuck you at somebody just to be like, you know, you make good points, but I think you're just a little wrong about this. And it's like, oh, man. Yeah.

I thought it was cool to use the domain names, but at one point it really hit me. I don't remember which account it was, but during the massive uptick in growth, people join and you always wonder if it's really them or not. And I remember seeing a post that was by the domain name of some news organization or something probably, but just being like, oh, I know that's their account.

And that's actually really, really cool. And obviously... I don't know how lay people, you know, know about that kind of thing or whatever, but it definitely like really, there was a specific moment where it really sunk in for me as like, this is more than just, you know, piggybacking off of another internet protocol to, you know, name things.
