This seems good but I do think this type of social media wouldn't be as popular. The posts you would like to see would end up being created on a different platform. If there are capped comments and no likes, then I don't visually see which content is worth reading (i.e I look at the title and engagement before I find myself wanting to read the content). I think even well intentioned people would like to see likes on their posts and maybe would provide more content with something as simple as that. Maybe something like Instagram, it shows who liked it and more.

I guess if I were to make my own I would make a messaging app that you can also post statuses. You can reply but the replies are sent straight to the creator. You would also need to approve anyone who follows you.

But I think apps that behave like Facebook because there is lots of engagement but with there is a price

I run into the problem of hard coding testing urls all the time, this is nice to seperate that from my app.
