**macbudkowski.eth**: hey, that's interesting news - could you next time submit the link to the source, and not cast? if that's relevant you can always add the cast in the comments

**simplifiedprivacy.eth**: No. I'm posting my content which is the reaction to the news.

If you want direct links then,
Kiwi should allow for actual posts so the user's content is the important part.  In it's current form, Kiwi news is essentially a spam-promo

**simplifiedprivacy.eth**: Kiwi is the opposite of Reddit.  Reddit encourages people to post content native to platform.
In it's current form, Kiwi encourages people to shill their foreign shit and do nothing on Kiwi

**simplifiedprivacy.eth**: Ok in all fairness, I re-read the post last time, and the part that was "my reaction" was weak.  So you do have a point.  I will avoid posting low value add.

**tim**: > Kiwi is the opposite of Reddit.  Reddit encourages people to post content native to platform.

Do you say that because we don‘t allow people to make text posts? Like on reddit

**simplifiedprivacy.eth**: Yes, if you allow that, then the user can add their commentary to have interaction directly on kiwi,

as opposed to just trying to link them off the platform, which is basically drive-by-promo
