<ul>
<li>No feeling of exclusivity. Should have been invite-only imo.</li>
<li>Should have onboarded each user one by one. Giving everyone time to feel welcome, and not just go away.</li>
<li>Should have expressed the benefits much more explicitly.
<ul>
<li>No tracking</li>
<li>Still get the benefit</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Usecases were out of whack.</li>
<li>People who want to talk to their friends do it over whatsapp.</li>
<li>People who want to post photos or write tweets for an audience would prefer to do it for a large audience.</li>

<p>I figure there is still value that can be provided by having small
silos allowing for Facebook / Twitter like activities, but without
the tracking and the bad stuff. Developing a community, however, takes
quite a lot of care and one mis-step can be enough to kill it.</p>

Hi! I'm Param! This is a place for my personal notes.

My website is https://param.codes, and I write more readable
stuff on my substack: https://newsletter.param.codes.

I've found that taking notes helps me remember things, and it's nice
to look back on information that you processed years ago. I jot down random things, there's no real structure, but some of these
notes could eventually become blog posts.

Some notes you might find interesting:

- [[history.laphams_quarterly.democracy.campaign_finance]]
- [[engineering.being_a_mentor]]
- [[history.china.dynasties]]
- [[history.india.indira_gandhi]]

I also keep notes on books I read [[here|books]].

This is built using [[Dendron|engineering.dendron]] and hosted using
[GitHub Pages](https://github.com/paramsingh/notes).

Get in touch via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/iliekcomputers) or email me at `me [at] param [dot] codes`!
