This seems like a surefire way to build a private echo chamber. I doubt a simulated audience is going to challenge your thoughts or help find what you are trying to say.


That's (in my view) also not the point of journaling, but rather to blow off some steam and digest internal dialogue.


It might be interesting to have some of the "commenters" challenge or critique, as an option?


Yes definitely, I'd love to have a balance of empathy and alternative perspectives


Do the commenters reply to things now? It might be nice to have personas that usually reply, others that reply rarely, etc, and that way you might get long discussion chains, or drive-by comments, or anything in between.

Very interesting idea, in general!


Public social networks are already building echo chambers. At least this one could be made to not have supremacist spam all over it like Twitter/X. Is it really any worse? I guess it wouldn’t have real life impact with an audience of humans.


Echo chambers seem pretty popular tho.


Very much like most of the substacks I see.
