On this app: alternative forms of social media, humane & inclusive tech, curtailing the surveillance state Off this app: adventuring outdoors, reading about space, hosting friends for dinner
thinking about how many people feel defeated, and tired, and poor, these days

I hope the bksy team doesn't incorporate advertising into the platform anytime soon... I know it's not completely ruled off :/
The other day I read “they (elites) turned the meta into an ideological war so we’d forget about the class war” and I honestly can’t stop thinking about it

If you or anyone you know is building within these categories, hit me up? Would love to learn what is being built and potentially create some content around these projects too to highlight them and/or help them grow
3. Projects fighting misinformation online via fact-checking and/or teaching people how to spot propaganda. I know this is slightly different but the thinking is that you can create all the unifying tech you want, if polarizing content and fake news takes over it's going to tear ppl apart regardless

2. Projects that help people express their creativity (so not just "influencer" content, but "creative" content at large) and compensate them fairly for it
⬇️
I want to connect with as many people as possible who are building social tech (not just "social media" - but tech that aims to connect people)
Projects can fall into any of these categories ⬇️
I'm kicking off a new series today called The State of Social.
It's all about the state of social media, how we got here and what we can do better.
Pt 1 is more of a personal introductory note, you can find it here:
