But what exactly is it for? To have superficial conversations about how tasty their food was? Then it won't work. All meaningful conversation is inherently political. We just need a good platform where parties can talk to each other with respect.

It's to make money for meta and its link to Instagram gives a huge leg up in getting people in. Its mainly going to be business's pretending to make jokes and people saying vapid nonsense.
