Carbon Fiber is the new Asbestos. Ask anyone who works with the stuff, and I wisened up after I used to print with Carbon Fiber PLA, one day I looked at my hands under a microscope and was horrified to see microscopic little carbon fibers embedded all over my hands. Washing my hands just spread them around. They were embedded deep in my hands, all over work surfaces and probably floating in the air. Horrifying!
Isn't this true for regular old fiberglass as well?
We often see people working with those materials wear protective equipment (full coveralls, breathing / eye protection).
Thanks for the thoughts.
But we are not interested turning into Facebook. You will only see posts of your friends and nothing more.
I was spending 8+ hours a day doom scrolling which led to this idea. I just want to see what my friends want me to see and that's it.
Sure thing. Oh - maybe let people follow non-friends that they want to see public updates from, and make everyone follow you, so their walls won't be so empty on Day 1 ;).
new users will face the empty feed problem since by design one can't find anyone without their code.
No "People you may know" or "select at least N interests or follow N accounts to continue".
I think early adopters will invite their friends to join and that is the only way.
Got any suggestions?
Show 3 walls side by side: updates by friends, interactions by direct connections on shares by friends of friends, and public stories by those nearby (geographically). The latter could also turn into a way for local businesses to promote themselves. Keep the 3 in separate lanes in order to let the user decide how much they want to doom scroll.

There's actually a mini-documentary about the creation of de_dust2 [0] which I think will be of interest to FPS fans.
I wonder if de_dust2 is the most played FPS map or if it has been dethroned by something like Fortnite or some other shooter map.
