What if you could see how people across different ages, cities, and countries actually felt about an issue β€” not just the loudest voices, but the real distribution? Would that change how we see each other?

Also, how does one even go about marketing a nonprofit social media app, meant for good / generating stats, and discussion out in the world? πŸ€”

My IRL friend just got followed by THE John Cena on Xwitter says that is why he can't leave the platform.

Can some famous John follow me here on @bsky.app so I can have a sick clap back tomorrow?

Maybe @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social? That'd be sweet πŸ€“

(2/2) At least then the experts, politicians, and community leaders can truly know where people are at and meet them where they're at.

That's what we're building @read-theroom.bsky.social but it only works if we do it together.

(1/2) I always imagined what a decentralized and truly democratic UN would look like.

What if we all really knew how the masses felt; without the top-down media, or algorithm-driven silo-ing feeds online telling us.

What would that look like... Would the masses be correct more often than not?

As a physicist, this was a really funny question for me to see on @read-theroom.bsky.social on day 2 of launch week.

How old do you think the universe is? Clearly my physics friends all agree... Sus?? 🧐
