I discovered DEV through various posts and finally joined last week. It seems like a great platform to be on.
I’ve written and published articles ...

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.
Dev.to is the pinnacle of quality social networking. I'm a huge fan, and find it immensity inspiring end educational. Welcome to the party hehe.

Agreed!
If we could spread this kind of social media to other areas i'd be immensely pleased and overjoyed.
This is what social media and the internet were for!
Spreading knowledge and love.
Thanks, Damir and Theo!
Yes, I’m certainly getting the impression. The flexibility to write a brief Twitter-like post alongside more in-depth articles is a great strength.
Completely agree. Spreading positivity (not in a vomit-inducing way) is definitely a good thing.
