Do people actually want even more social media in their lives? I get the feeling Instagram is a enough. then chat apps do the rest. all of these networks are on the decline. rehashing something old seems like its doomed to fail.
- smt88 4y agoTikTok, BeReal, and many messaging networks (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal) are growing.
- sebow 4y agoImo the problem is not quantity but quality. And even then, the most important characteristic of that quality is the known transparency behind the platform itself, which affects the mentioned quality of behavior & content. I personally don't think this will rise that quickly(for many reasons, the main 2 being the focus on web3 and the second being jack's past), but the fact remains that the market for a non-censorable or at least trustworthy social media platform exists.

- lovemenot 4y agoI don't mind what information a platform might display to me, as long as in practice it only shows what I want to see. Give me control over the algo that filters my wheat, and let the chaff flow in abundance.
- midoridensha 4y agoI just want a chat app that has an autocorrect system that works decently...
- hot_gril 4y agoI want a way to find news outside of front pages. I'm on HN for that reason. Reddit can work for a few topics, but it's eh. I also made my own news-sharing site that has an interesting way of controlling quality, but nobody uses it outside my friend groups.
