I look at this place more like the anti-Facebook. No advertisements, very little in the way of viral content, and you’re very unlikely to be “friends” with your family and people you haven’t seen since high school. But to me the most important distinction is that it’s long form content and your audience presumably has an attention span that exceeds the length of a tweet. I see a lot of people on here saying that they are here because they don’t like Facebook. I think it’s more that Facebook has such a monopoly on everyone’s internet time that any kind of content creation that isn’t on there is some kind of competition to it.
