The climate pooch is so thoroughly screwed that I'm glad to be 40; I may not have to see the worst of what's likely coming up. It's no wonder just about everyone I know who's my age or younger has some level of climate anxiety. I personally feel pretty hopeless about our chances: we're just smart enough to be able to fuck things up at scale, but not smart enough to do anything about it once it's become apparent
Isn't following specific people going to give you a very narrow view of things, though? Of course we can always just follow a wide variety of people (eve ones we don't agree with) but I just feel like this could easily lead to a kind of "echo chamber" mentality where people only get exposed to things they agree with. And if the amount of followers affects how visible your posts are, won't that lead to a digg-like power user scenario?
Oh, and great job with the site. I especially like the clean and simple layout
