I honestly don't see how this is different than reddit or HN, other than the metaphor. On both sites, articles naturally fall off over time, and the ones that get the most engagement last longer.

How does this differ other than having to click on each thing to see what it says?

It makes you very annoyed at the UX so it prevents social media addiction.

I definitely see where you're coming from. Personally, I find the metaphor interesting insofar as that there isn't a 'linearity' of threads. One of my personal peeves with HN/reddit/discord/forums which I'm inspired by is the 'list-style feed' of it all. It doesn't sit well with me as a design choice, if that makes sense. Another thing is for sure the 'metaphor'. I think that switching the design/psychological context of what you're doing adds a bit of respite from the, in my opinion, brutish psychology of these other conversational platforms. That being said, I don't oppose your interpretation. From a technical standpoint I believe what you're saying is more than fair and possibly stemming from my own need for growing/learning more as a programmer.
