The text on the landing page is odd. It reads:

> Remember when social media was fun, introduced you to big ideas and cool people, and actually made you smarter? Remember when it didn't waste your time and make you angry or sad? When you could disagree with someone without being threatened or insulted? We want to bring that back with Post.

I remember no such thing. The only difference between the old and the new internet is in the new internet, the platform company tries to decide what's allowed and unallowed discource, whereas in the past you could find all sorts of unorthodox and heretical discussions in lots of places! They still exist, but incredibly more difficult to find because they are drowned out by the mainstream which has gotten a lot bigger.

Could you give a few specific examples of unorthodox and heretical topics you wish you could find?
