| I'm reading this comment thread and I realize that you misunderstand a lot about what the OP created and wanted to share with y'all (yes, I know him and I've been useing Sora since it exists). Let's say - I'm an average internet user who likes to create and share content and yes I've been using social media platforms for it because for us, there aren't many other options these days. I don't think I need to tell you what makes me so angry about social media because you know it all better than me. On Sora, I can create a personalized profile with the info I want to share about myself and I currently have two blogs of different topics, a microblog for my random thoughts and a polaroid collection and you can reach all of them when you open this same profile. For me, sharing the profile page with all my content on it, too, gives the feeling that I have some kind of "online personality" I build and control, in other words, I can be fully seen - it's something social media would never give me, especially because I have to share all my content on separate sites. It's everything I want to share at one place. I have many options to customize my stuff, another thing I, the average user would never get from the big platforms. You see Sora simply as a blog engine and you've seen enough of those already. Difference is that it's much more complex than that. It's something I've been looking for for years and I couldn't find anything similar to it. What I want to say... is that when you can build your very own blog engine or you can find a more complicated one that satisfies your needs then Sora isn't for you and that's cool. For those who are looking for a less toxic alternative to social media (and they don't necessarily need it to be another form of social media), it could be something interesting. (Even when you can but you don't want to put all that effort into creating it yourself, it's worth a look - and when you don't understand what should you see then again, it's not for you and that's still cool.) I still think it has a lot to offer, just look at it from a different perspective. |
Even with your description I don’t get it. If I make a website, which is easy to do nowadays, I can also share that link.
What exactly is the revolution here?
