So funny you said that! It's honestly a nod (or diss) to so many failed social media designs. We talk this all through on our @npub1627m...3aec starting at episode 103. @Ian brought up circles at one point when we were first figuring out blocks & neighborhoods. Maybe? I can't remember, he can chime in. I never used it. But blocks is definitely a nod to myspaces top 5. Remember that!

Sorry I'm being repetitive since we're chatting on two different threads 😅

Yes it is a slight nod to Google circles. But Google let you have an infinite number of circles which made them worthless.
