Many tech people want a better social network plan. I'm asking for opinions and advice here: https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/social_network_plan https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/social_network_plan The repo looks at issues of purpose, funding, audience, identity, topology, implementation, a MVP, and more.

As alternative to Fb, there's MeWe and Vero. Both of them will not display ads and mine user info.

  Unless they gain traction. Which is the time they will start monetizing their users.

  Thanks! I am adding these to the repo now.

Are you trying to create yet another open social network like Mastodon? That would mean more standards we have to choose from, and isn't the effect exactly the opposite of what you want to achieve, i.e. more barriers in communication?

  > Are you trying to create yet another open social network like Mastodon? No because Mastodon is solely a decentralized network and is self-described as for microblogging. My research interest includes possibilities for centralized networks (more akin to Wikipedia and Craigslist) and more kinds of sharing (more akin to Dropbox and Slack).
