Social media isn’t about networking or socializing anymore - it’s a vehicle for advertisements, reposted content, and one-sided relationships, driven to retain and divert attention at the expense of the user’s mental health. Furthermore, the apps that are geared towards meeting people and socializing are still too influenced by social media and dating app models that commodify and idealize people in unnatural ways, and are designed to keep you on the apps rather than get you into the real world. How can an app help us meet and interact with new people in ways that feel more real and human?
