As a “never post, but catch up on my feed every month or two” type user the lack of an archive makes this product useless but I realize it’s not for me and wouldn’t complain just saying it’s stated as low touch but kind of requires daily use.

Agreed. I actually don’t think removing old content is strictly necessary for a pleasant experience. Looking at friends’ or even my old posts on conventional social media is one of the more enjoyable/less toxic experiences.

In fact, on the topic of posting less, I know first-hand that the introduction of the ephemeral “story” format in conventional social media was done precisely in order to reduce friction in getting people to post more.

I agree, in fact I think the ephemeral approach incentivizes unwanted behavior. i.e. to me social media needs to become less addictive. If you force someone into a habit that they have to check every day lest they miss something, you get a FOMO-driven reinforcement of habit and/or even addiction.
