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

Just signed up and woah!!
Maven looks apart from the rest of the platform.
Trying to understand how would relevant content be filtered for me to view?
I am based in India, and American football is irrelevant to us.
Is this hosted on web3?
Curious to know.
Happy launching and good luck!

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.

Love this! Does Maven show ads to its users? One of the things that drove me off social media was constant ads and consumerism making me feel like I needed more. If Maven keeps the platform ad-free and focused on ideas, I'm all in.
Following interests can truly increase the chances of you getting what you are finding faster than anything else. Congrats on the launch.

I love the proposition - 'interests, not influencers'.
It will be interesting to see where this sits alongside Reddit. Presumably, the value is in starting a discussion, and those who'll be interested in it wouldn't have had to join a particular group. It'll just be presented to them.
