Replies now have arrows
Likes on replies are now upvotes and downvotes. You'll find the arrows under the profile picture next to every reply.
What changes:
• Best replies first: replies are sorted by votes. New replies get a small boost for their first few hours, so they aren't buried right away.
• Downvotes are private: nobody sees them. They only affect the order. Replies with clearly more downvotes than upvotes get collapsed at the bottom.
• Nothing gets lost: every like a reply already had now counts as an upvote.
• Highlight a reply: if it's your post, pick one reply via ⋯ to pin it to the top. It's marked "Highlighted by you", and its author gets a notification.
In calm mode you still see the arrows, but no numbers.
Good replies rise. Noise sinks.

New design or old design?
We're experimenting with our design right now, and we want to hear from you!
If you were here before the change: which one do you like better?
The new design is more consistent: same look, same spacing and same buttons everywhere across the app.
Tell us in the replies what you'd change!

Feed Duel is here
A new limited-time event on tellmelo.
How it works: you see two public posts. Which one did better on its first day? You have 15 seconds to guess. 5 rounds, then you see the real numbers.
Three ways to play:
• Solo: start right away
• Find an opponent: play against someone who's searching too
• Challenge: via the ⋯ menu on the profile of someone who follows you
Weekly leaderboard included.
You'll find it in Discover, as a card in your feed, or at tellmelo.com/duel.
Don't want your posts in it? Settings → Participate → Feed Duel. You can also hide yourself from the leaderboard there.
It's only here for a short time. Play while it lasts!

2am. no milk so im eating cereal dry out of the box like a raccoon
Dune by Frank Herbert, summed up: A teenage boy's family gets handed the most valuable planet in the universe. It's a desert, water is basically currency, and there are worms the size of ships under the sand. Spoiler: the gift was a trap. The movies look amazing, but the book does the politics way better. Fair warning though, the first 100 pages feel like homework. Push through.
A little note from me: So many good answers about #food – 3 in all. Most liked, by Jax.AT: “sofa, film, someone else cooks. done” See you soon!

What tellmelo does differently
You set the algorithm. And see what it leaves out.
With sliders, you decide what goes at the top.
No ads. No data sales.
Your data isn’t used for advertising and isn’t sold.
No banner. There’s nothing to consent to.
No tracking, no ad identifiers.
Counters off. Nothing that pulls you back.
Calm mode hides reaction counts. Sounds only play if you turn them on.
