Maven - Follow interests, not influencers

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.

Compelling. And I usually pass on most new social networks.

Had a good start on this app, diving into 3 interesting conversations inducing multiple responses over the course of 1 hour. Time better used than through doom-scrolling!

Looks very interesting. Strong competitor to x.com. Very cool product!

After trying Maven out, I found that the format of the information flow is similar to Twitter, but the mechanism is quite different, with "No likes, no followers." I am very curious about how AI will play an important role in this new social media platform!

Just curious, how is following topics different from subscribing to YouTube channels and LinkedIn groups?

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

Anything Ev does is worth a look. Love Medium so much. I'm in.

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. 🚀🚀🚀
