Do you write without readers?

There are two sides to publishing platforms: writing and reading. There are things I like about writing in Fika. It has a proofreading feature, it is clean, and it is not bloated with useless features, and so on. In short, the first side, writing, is fine.

The reader side is missing. I write these mostly for myself. I am not a professional writer, nor am I seriously seeking user interaction like in the blogging era, but there should be a difference between this and my private notebook.

The bad solution today is social media. Everything from everyone is put into one endless feed, sorted by God knows what, and the purpose is to keep me there for as long as possible, as long as I am not bored. I can still randomly discover interesting souls, but everything is designed to make me scroll endlessly. It is too shallow. There are rare posts or ideas that go deep, either through self-writing or a good conversation.

At the same time, I need a follow feature—to follow what people do. I like how Adam thinks; I am also interested in seeing what he is reading or writing. I like to know what people think about my post or idea.

There should be a better way to create that cozy corner of the web for weirdos to talk and show what they think, and to be seen by like-minded people. This is not meant to be a huge social media platform, but rather a non-industrial, simple Twitter-like space for posts within small to medium-sized groups of people. And, obviously, it should be open on the internet for everyone to join.
