The antisocial social club most def raises the Jolly Roger flag against "social" media. ;-]
At some point, I just want a private platform that is paid for using microcredits, no ads/data harvesting, requires verified named people with faces (improved communication quality), connections only stay alive if you actually interact with them IRL, doesn't automatically share everything with everyone in a single context, and doesn't promote dangerous behaviors for likes/shares. The only purpose of hidden rating tags (in lieu of likes and shares) should be that a viewer's own incoming content gets slightly prioritized. Oh and no instant notifications, no news link sharing/"retweeting", no messaging or chat (there's email), and a user only gets to look at it twice a day. Basically, solve many of the societal and social problems FB exploits and creates.
How many times have you googled an obscure error, to find no answers?
And then after some time... you solve it, and want to add a comment or make it easier for the next lost soul...and its non trivial.
I would argue for a large amount of problems that are interesting to people doing practical things, you want to allow drop ins to your community.
How you keep the riff raff out is then unsolvable.
I have this idea I’m rolling around and to make it non-capitalist it does need to be funded in some way.
Assuming this product fulfilled a human need what is the financial paradigm shift (I mean, who pays for anything these days?)?
