The toxic reality of social media discourse
- kierancairney 6y agoHey all! I'm Kieran, the writer of this post and creator of the app Change My Mind. Change My Mind is the fully anonymous, no incentive platform for healthy, open and honest 1-on-1 discussions. I truly believe that a platform founded on the goals of creating a space for healthy discourse will allow us to narrow the divide in the world one chat at a time. If you have comments or questions about the article or app, I'd love to hear any feedback. https://apps.apple.com/app/id1524167633 https://apps.apple.com/app/id1524167633
- aaron-santos 6y agoA refutation of social media isn't a justification for its opposite. Changing systems always involves trade offs. What are we trading by advocating for anonymous 1-on-1 discussions?
- kierancairney 6y agoTo be clear, I'm specifically calling out the toxicity of debating on social media platforms, not social media as a whole. The idea being here that if there was a better platform to hear the other side of an opinion, people may think to go there instead of social media.
