With both @evhead and @sama involved as investors, I'm very curious if a post-TikTok Twitter can gain traction and not go off the rails...

Just signed up and woah!! Maven looks apart from the rest of the platform. Trying to understand how would relevant content be filtered for me to view? I am based in India, and American football is irrelevant to us. Is this hosted on web3? Curious to know. Happy launching and good luck!

X Killer, but Time and Improvements Needed.

Looking forward to the day where we can finally be impacted by interests, follow and discuss ideas rather then people :)

The idea of 'serendipity and deep discussion' sounds promising. ๐Ÿ‘ I'm interested to see if Maven can foster a more thoughtful and nuanced online community, compared to the often superficial interactions on other social platforms. ๐Ÿค”

Following interests can truly increase the chances of you getting what you are finding faster than anything else. Congrats on the launch.

Just tried Maven and I'm hooked! Finally, a feed that's actually tailored to my interests, not just what's trending. It's like a breath of fresh air in the social media space. ๐ŸŒŸ

Do people really want another social media platform?

Upvoted! fostering deeper conversations and meaningful interactions is something the social media space desperately needs. Trading likes and follows for genuine discussions seems like an interesting shift. How do you think algorithms geared towards fostering deeper connections will impact your social media usage? Do you believe this can change the way we engage and build communities online?

I love the proposition - 'interests, not influencers'. It will be interesting to see where this sits alongside Reddit. Presumably, the value is in starting a discussion, and those who'll be interested in it wouldn't have had to join a particular group. It'll just be presented to them.

This is an interesting concept. But what I do not like are this "dark mode" it is extremely hard for me to read the text content and as I can see there is no option to turn into light mode. I think this platform will end up like threads of Meta, in the beginning the platform gets some testers and over time there is no activity.

Wow, it's finally happening!
