Maven

Follow interests, not influencers

Social Media

Twitter cofounder Ev Williams is backing a new social network called Maven, which trades likes and follows for algorithms designed to foster serendipity and deep discussion.

With both @evhead and @sama involved as investors, I'm very curious if a post-TikTok Twitter can gain traction and not go off the rails...

Departing from the conventional emphasis on likes and follows to prioritize authentic conversations truly is a refreshing approach.

I'm excited to see how Maven fosters meaningful discussions and connections. Kudos to the team and looking forward to using it! 🌟

Isn’t it the same following interest,not influencers in traditional social media ? You can also do this on other social media too. No one download app on App Store.

The idea of 'serendipity and deep discussion' sounds promising. 👍 I'm interested to see if Maven can foster a more thoughtful and nuanced online community, compared to the often superficial interactions on other social platforms. 🤔

What a fantastic initiative, Maven team! By shifting the focus from influencers to interests, you're paving the way for more authentic interactions and connections. Looking forward to being part of this journey!

thanks for the "Gardening" tag🤠but it would be more convenient to have the interests not in random order, but more or less in the same area, because the tag “cooking” is next to "user interface", which is pretty weird... Happy launching and good luck!

Will it be a better Twitter or a TikTok alternative? I have signed up, it seems to be a discussion forum for certain topics. Anyway, Congratulations on the launch, best of luck today. 🚀🚀🚀

This seems like a refreshing take on modern social media. I've been trying to find ways to stay involved but also disconnect, this just might be the answer!

Sounds promising. Excited to see where this goes next. Kudos to everyone involved! 🚀

Existing social media is totally broken so big fan of any attempt to build something more authentic and less flex-based!
