Just to be Mr Pedantic, it offers 240, which is shy of Twitter’s 280!

As someone whose content can vary from hours to weeks in creation (covering James Zabiela and Ripperton recently absorbed most of a month, and three hours were poured into a Sasha write up last night that is still not finished) having an alt account to quickly realise thoughts and whims is excellent. It is no less in terms of emotion - I’m not slapping out word farts for $.

The alt account I feel is the important part. It doesn’t create a jarring split personality. It’s much like owning a Wordpress and Twitter account. Obviously everything gets dumped into the one place, which is going towards making Steemit looking very noisy. Hopefully the prospect of communities will help segment things a little. Zappl obviosuly manages itself by filtering out Steemit content, even simply editing a post over here will remove it from the app.

I feel it has its place, its value. More so than the throwaway brain fart of meme-ing, which half of the time feels a touch desperate. But if you’re up for this place, I’ll seek you out with my alt and see you in the feed! It’s very much early days on the app, but the discord is hoping to stimulate some community posting. (I’m keeping an eye out for the electronic music stuff.) Looking forward to UX refinements and discovery tools over the coming months.
