I followed George Conway to Post, and it looks intriguing!

After the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk and uncertainty about the future of the platform, users began to look for alternatives, the most obvious of which was Mastodon. However, the complexity of a decentralized social network leaves plenty of room for other alternatives to emerge. One of them, called Post, is created by former Waze CEO Noam Bardin, according to mezha media.

Bardin has this to say:

Remember when social media was fun, introduced you to big ideas and cool people, and actually made you smarter? Remember when it didn't waste your time and make you angry or sad? When you could disagree with someone without being threatened or insulted? We want to bring that back with Post.

We believe that all humans are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights that include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless of their gender identity, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or beliefs.

If you do not agree with this principle, Post is not for you. We believe in freedom of speech and will oppose any government's attempt to censor speech on our platform. However, we have rules, which we plan to rigorously enforce via content moderation, with the help of our community.

Post will be a civil place to debate ideas; learn from experts, journalists, individual creators, and each other; converse freely; and have some fun. Many of today's ad-based platforms rely on capturing attention at any cost " sowing chaos in our society, amplifying the extremes, and muting the moderates. Post is designed to give the voice back to the sidelined majority; there are enough platforms for extremists, and we cannot relinquish the town square to them.

We know that this is a lofty goal, that the world is endlessly complex, that there is no "right" answer to many of these questions. We acknowledge that we will make many mistakes, but we promise to listen and be responsive to our community.

So what can I actually do on Post?
