@AlexWolfe Cool! 🥳 It was one of the few places I had in mind when getting back to blogging a couple years ago.

@AlexWolfe Yes, I can fully understand that. Or maybe an option to use it just like that if one wants to, being able to opt out from the trending race, but still allow readers to show appreciation.

@AlexWolfe It’s a wonderful country! Angkor Wat is actually a neighbor (Cambodia), but it’s very close if you’re in a Thai place like Koh Chang e.g. You can almost see it from there. 

@AlexWolfe Yeah I know, one of those (unfortunate) things one have to keep in mind when it comes to things online. You never really know.

@aeryn Thank you! 🙏

@daj @gobino @AlexWolfe Interesting. It’s a difficult thing. Personally, if it was my platform, I would probably have ‘Recent posts’ as default. And maybe have ‘Buzzing’ (or whatever the name) use more than just likes. Clicks, shares, upvotes, newsletter subscribers, RSS subscribers, you name it… Doing it in a way that makes it more or less impossible to understand how some posts get to be featured/trending/buzzing/popular, but still understandable that they are. If that makes sense 😅

@gobino Yes, it’s a difficult thing to balance, at least for me. I try not to care about “trending” but sometimes I feel myself caught up in it anyway.

@AlexWolfe I can fully underhand that. It really is a constant “battle “ for me.

@AlexWolfe Same here 😍

@AlexWolfe I know the feeling and am still very much back and forth about it.
