Greg Morris started Micro Social: https://gregmorris.co.uk/2025/02/12/micro-social-the-launch.html

As I wrote about right at the start, I wanted Micro Social to be very targeted in the way it worked. Providing something that I wanted from a micro.blog app, and not becoming all things to all people. It’s easy to get side tracked, though. The app is already a long way away from what I intended it to be, with features and abilities that I didn’t even dream of when I started.

Saying no to these users is hard, but it has to be because he can not do everything.
