Product Hunt should become Twitter for founders, makers, builders and indiehackers

Almost everyone I engage with on Twitter is a founder building valuable products for their users and I was thinking why are we on Twitter?
Twitter is a generic global forum where most of the content is irrelevant for me and most founders. Twitter has a massive amount of spam and noise that is distracting and counter productive for makers yet the vast majority of us are on the platform interacting with one another.
Product Hunt initially started out as a platform to share new products and eventually new ideas/discussions but that is not enough IMO.
Product Hunt should evolve into a full fledged ecosystem for founders of all backgrounds to interact, learn, and grow with one another.
some desired features:
1. Direct Messaging
2. Team/Group/Company Association
3. Different user tiers i.e. founders/makers, co-founders, employees, associates or something similar
4. Each user tier has different privileges so if I wanted to only post to founders only and not necessarily the marketers associated with them then I could do that with ease
Summary: I'd like Product Hunt to do more for me!

Yep!! This community section can be improved a lot. There should be an open feed. Now it's more controlled. I like reading genuine stories of founders. But the feed is always showing the same. I don't know, sometimes it's too much job to scroll in this "news" tab.

@romiojoseph I didn't even consider the feed, that is a good point.
Definitely waiting for such features, direct messaging and images uploading are game changer to me

@mathis_vella I agree with DMing but why would uploading images benefit you? Just to better communicate your messaging or what is the use case?

I really like the features you’ve proposed. Direct messaging and role-based user tiers could allow for more focused discussions and networking opportunities, ensuring that the interactions remain relevant and valuable.

@mark_amouzgar 💯💯. I think they should start with Direct messaging and go from there.
