Oh, that's a problem already solved by FB.
- krapp 8y agoI know you're being ironic, but you're not wrong. Strip away all of the dark patterns and evil from Facebook and you wind up with an example of the most successful and widely used multimedia platform interface ever. People use it to share news, images, videos, to view videos, to chat, to create and post onto forums. My mother, who care barely use email, uses Facebook. Billions of people do. Any more free, more secure replacement is going to have to replicate what Facebook does in terms of user experience, or else they're doomed to never reach mainstream engagement.
