A lot of the questions on the "Further questions, problems, observations" list for Reversible are front and center for us, and we're hoping to demonstrate some answers to them as we roll things out to more real world users.

Also -- Memepool was an early fav of mine and an inspiration for https://mothra.click/, which I built in 45 minutes for my wife, who has never owned a smartphone, so I could send her links. Getting lazy about updating it meant "Wanting to post to mothra.click easier" had a non-zero impact on the existence of Octothorpes.

I wanted something self host able, with easy export/import, with simple search ability, support for many crawling capabilities etc. etc.
This defined, in many ways, how link associations on the web were/are percieved
I'm using https://pinboard.in/ now for bookmarking and it's an amazing piece of small web software.
I don't know if much can be done about echo chambers. People seem to like their echo chambers. For those who are sick of such environments, I've designed another system (not yet part of the product I mentioned above) that I believe has the potential to breed a place of authenticity on the internet.
