Hey Folks, On the onset , I would like to welcome all the new members who joined Grapevine over last few days. Grapevine is a nice platform and I really hope all of you will enjoy great conversations and viewpoint on this community .
Now to the point why gatekeeping might become essential : I heard some days back , a good man on YouTube posted a video telling his fans about this awesome community. That is why you might have seen outburst of ‘ this is a nice platform ‘ posts on Grapevine. They also thank him in the body of the post xD. Honestly , I am fed up of this non sense posts And my timeline is already cluttered due to this.
Now his followers will start highjacking the community. Right now , this being a professional platform , the posts were interactive and decent to read. Now don’t be surprised if you see posts irrelevant to the community. I remember same thing happening with r/developersIndia community some years back and right now , that sub is kinda dead and have repetitive kind of questions which can easily be found if you have taken the effort to search for the posts.
Secondly, I won’t be surprised in case their is a difference of opinion with the Guru , people or his followers will start you bashing left , right and centre.
I know this post sounds rude and entitled since everyone should have fair opportunity in life , but definition of fair varies as well.
I’m very interested in knowing the POV of everyone involved here - may be I am over thinking. But would appreciate your thoughts on this .
At the end of day, Grapevine is a funded company.
If they start gatekeeping, how will they scale? How will they justify to investors?
There has to be some better way to do this.
I have seen many influencer talk about the platform. Write 3 pages of GPT generated posts. Don't know how it is even helping their followers or community in any way
Follow the footsteps of DM. I believe DM is only accessible once you have some x number of grapes. May be , do the same for posts as well ?
Reddit also enforces this in terms of minimum karma to post in certain communities .
First time user experience will drop. If I can't start conversations (or seek help) why will I continue using this platform
There are already “Popular” and “Top” tabs. Don’t they work for you?
I have seen it but never used it . Thank you , I will try this out to
It’s therapeutic because you can share different aspects of your life that you can’t talk about on other platforms. For instance, you can't criticize the Ola CEO on LinkedIn, demand justice for the Kolkata rape case on Twitter without ge...
How did you bring it up in conversation? Asking for a friend 💁♀️
Currently I am discovering gv. I am loving it. You don't get doxxed(🤞) + you get to chat and converse with others like it's a WhatsApp group. Kinda love this. Is this just me? or 👀 If so, then what is the idea of social media. To bri...
Hi I am new to the whole process of creating a passport and want to ask how other people who may have had a use case similar to mine went ahead with getting a passport.

I feel that when you open up to people about your traumas and insecurities, people are only going to use it against you in an arguement.
While you might argue that not everyone does that, and I would be the first one to agree to that. B...
