Great write up!!
I love that follower counts are hidden, I think this is a distraction on social media entirely - as it just creates a status quo bias where others follow/like as well (simply because everyone else is!) I think A LOT of quality content get swept under the rug in all the other platforms because of this...

That and being able to reference the original content with a canonical are the main reasons I joined DEV as well (just a few weeks ago) :)

Thanks, Mark.

Yes, 100%. I think this system will encourage a lot of people to write, which is good.
