Hello cosmos 👋 I'm Ilan Leibovich and I'm the founder of Cosmos47. This is the first real post created on Cosmos47 (not counting the tests..) and I wanted to explain a little about what it is and why I built it.
So, what is Cosmos47? Cosmos47 is a public social feed displayed chronologically without any algorithms deciding what should win your attention. Everyone shares to the same feed and everyone see the same posts.
Each post is analyzed with AI to understand what it’s about: language, topic, tone, format, length, whether it’s political, funny, personal, promotional, philosophical, visual, and so on.
Then, users can decide what they want and filter the feed manually in any way they wish. This way, if your content is relevant to someone, it will hopefully find its audience.
Why did I build Cosmos47? I'm not very good at social networking and I don't have many followers. I'm also a bit shy and I think twice (or hundreds of times) before I post anything on any social network because I don't know how well it will be received.
But that doesn't mean I don't have stuff to say and it doesn't mean I don't want to share text, photos, videos, or links with the world. And it doesn't mean I don't want people to actually see it.
It's just that I don't want to work at it. I don't want to follow and befriend and like and comment and constantly share and count the number of followers I have or likes I get. I just want to share sometimes.
That’s what Cosmos47 is trying to do. To be a public feed where distribution comes from relevance, not popularity.
How can you help? Wow, there's a lot you can do. I'm just starting and I need all the help I can get, but mainly I just wish you post stuff here and I wish you share it with your friends and tell them to post stuff here as well. Not for likes or follows, but because you have something you want the world to know.
Thanks for reading!
