HOW TO USE
Core Mechanics
THE FEED
The Drop is a real-time interaction loop. No algorithms, no shadow-banning. The feed is strictly chronological or ranked by community interactions. You see what's happening now, not what a machine wants you to see.
THE STREAK
Your activity level is tracked as a ⚡BURN STREAK. Maintain your participation daily to build your influence. If you go offline for more than 24 hours without a 'Burn' post, your streak resets. Influence is earned through consistency.
Signal Types
#BURN POSTS
Tagging a post with #BURN activates its self-destruct sequence. These posts vanish from the feed exactly 24 hours after creation. Use this for ephemeral thoughts, time-sensitive news, or high-intensity conversations.
EPHEMERAL STREAKS
Participation in a #BURN thread counts toward your daily activity level. The most active participants in these threads earn unique emblem upgrades and community status.
Notification Rush
BATCHED ALERTS
To protect your focus, The Drop 'ghosts' notifications. Alerts are held in a buffer and released in a single burst when you trigger the 'Rush' button in the header. This turns high-frequency distractions into a planned interaction phase.
