O Peeper estava se despedindo. Mas Elon Musk despediu o Twitter e renovou minhas energias (o nascimento da Lens também renovou).

(por enquanto, precisa ter uma conta no protocolo Lens, que custa $10 - eu não ganho nada com isso, só pra clarificar)

Justiça ao Peeper:

Fico pensando nisso: o Peeper foi chamado de "Facebook Roxo"... ...então depois foi o Facebook/Meta quem ficou conhecido por copiar (ou comprar) outras redes sociais, inclusive com o Threads vs. Twitter.

Também relembro: no final de 2011 parei pra pensar em uma alternativa ao Twitter mais divertida, porém mantendo a essência das nomenclaturas. Lembrei como no Brasil o som de um pássaro - principalmente uma coruja - é conhecido como um "pio" e como isso se traduziria em Inglês. Na época, o Google Translate me ajudou a descobrir que as postagens deveriam ser "peeps", então naturalmente a rede social se chamaria Peeper! Porém descobri que peeper.com redirecionava para um site XXX e que o próprio nome Peeper significa espiar aquele ato; como o foco era o Brasil e a América Latina: ignorei o significado inglês do nome e assim continuou. Mas aí vem a segunda ironia do destino que fez justiça ao Peeper: o Twitter deixou de ser Twitter e mudou o nome para algo que lembra pornografia: "X".

Será então que o Peeper é realmente um copycat comparado ao Threads e tem um nome infeliz comparado ao "X"?! Anos após, o destino provou que não!

Mas o melhor de tudo: o Peeper agora vai se chamar Peepz e mais!

How Peepz will innovate, compared to all of the current...

...micro-blogging (Twitter-like) social networks:

💅 Beauty

• Return of the BGs (background images) on your profile! (suggested in: )
• Different profile covers being set/displayed according to the device: phone (portrait), desktop, TV (landscape)

🥰 Wholesome

• Super Likes: a special like you can do only once a day. Will work across all Pannet sites, which makes a Super Like even more special, because only 1 post in 1 site is choosen per day by users. Users can mint (NFT) the moment when they receive a Super Like!
• Super Follows: you can Super Follow 1 user only per day. The followed user can mint (NFT) this moment
• Hyper Likes: like a post by tipping it
• Hyper Follows: subscribe to an user to support it and/or to get exclusive content

😜 Fun

• Timetravel Peep: choose any date/time for a peep (this will come with an alert button alongside the date, which will explain and show the original date)

😏 Contentious

• Ratio: when your reply becomes a ratio (this happens when your reply gets more likes than the original peep you're replying to), show a banner in the top side and can mint (NFT) this achievement/moment forever (limited 1/1 original version + unlimited ones to distribute to friends/fans)!
• Owning: when you quote a peep, and the network (followers & non-followers) thinks you owned on your answer, they can vote until this quote peep reaches this status: getting a proper banner on the top and being able to mint (NFT) this moment forever!
• Mock a Peep: choose an existing account of someone or set a display name+avatar+username: simulate a peep made by this account (but this will come with a clear message on the top, telling this is a parody). If mocking a peep of an existing account, and this account likes the post, you two can mint (NFT) together to celebrate this moment! Could also set the date of that mock peep and create a list of fictional accounts you'll use for mocking.

🤓 Productive

• Cross-post to Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram/Threads, Mastodon/Fediverse, Farcaster; also, being able to see the timeline from Farcaster, Bluesky, Mastodon/Fediverse too!

...Lens-based social networks:

Onboarding

• No need to purchase a .lens handle for $10 (currently prohibitive for emerging nations to pioneer Lens): every profile will be under a "peepzsigning.lens" handle, identifying users by using a Lens Handles and a Lens Profiles forks where it is free to generate any username! Content will be signed in name of "peepzsigning.lens" by a smart-contract that will own the handle+profile. So while main Lens users will see contents being posted by the same "peepzsigning.lens", Pannet/Peepz users will see different users who originally posted under that umbrella account.
• Incentivize newcomers to sign-up using Passkeys, recommending Trust Wallet's Swift or others such as Coinbase Smart Wallet (Swift does support recovering from cloud, so Web2 users comfortable with email recovery won't feel terrified).

Minting

• Mint your Lens/Pannet account birthday on Peepz as a PoAP!
