A casual round-table discussion on how to make social media suck less and connect us more:
It's increasingly clear that the most successful and widely used social media and social network platforms are generally not good for our mental health. For some (like me!) there was a time when this may not have been the case, but things didn't stay good for long and here we are.
Is it possible to do better? To build platforms and systems that are actually net-positive on the wellbeing of their users? What might that look like, how might such platforms work, and what could make them sustainable and widely used? Let's talk about it! Ideas, hot takes, personal experiences with newer apps and tools, all is welcome.
This will be casual, inclusive, and low-stakes. Join to listen or to share. We'll aim to meet monthly to keep the conversation and ideas going! My hope is that genuinely new experiments will be born out of this discussion over time. Come join and help shape the future of how we connect online.
