The CEO of Post News DMed me on twitter a while back. My impression is that part of his job was trying to convince prolific posters to come over and hopefully bring some part of their audience with them.

I politely declined. I noped out of Post News once I understood that Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway were involved. I don't want anything to do with a community shaped by those two. (It's okay if you like them. We don't need to talk about it.)

Anyway, the CEO of Post was trying to find common ground. I told him I didn't think I was the kind of person he wanted on his platform. I said I believe our views are incompatible. He pressed me to explain to him why. So I did. And he blocked me.

I knew then that they didn't have what it takes. 😂

I keep running into services that have decided to phrase their web forms in the style of a flaky, half-assed chatbot wrapped in a risible native app that is mobile-only and doesn't work without notifications.

This is purgatory.

• A social media post with two side-by-side images of Mark Zuckerberg, with the captions "Stealing your data" over the first image and "Stealing your girl" over the second, indicating a humorous before-and-after transformation.

I can't remember who exactly pointed it out, it might've been @taylorlorenz, but there was a part in Post News' mission statement that was very concerned about people being mean to billionaires.

Post News ended up the type of platform you'd expect given that ethos.

It became a centrist hellscape, home to all the self-important Trump-era neo-liberal personalities born from pre-Elon Twitter.

Shout out to the hardworking devs, but I will not miss #PostNews.

Post News shuts down. Where might all the political pacifists go now?

• Noam Bardin: It is with a heavy heart that I share this sad news with you. Despite how much we've accomplished together, we will be shutting down Post News within the next few weeks. We have done many great things together. We built a toxicity-free community, a platform where Publishers engage, and an app that validated many theories around Micropayments and consumers' willingness to purchase individual articles. We even managed to cultivate a phenomenal tipping ecosystem for creators and commenters. But, at the end of the day, our service is not growing fast enough to become a real business or a significant platform.
