A great experience should find a balance between creating friendly spaces and over-policing each other.
A great experience should not primarily be a worsening spiral of wounds and resentments. It should primarily be a productive and mutually supportive exchange.
Just like in the real world, which is the model for healthy social interaction and sustainability.
Real society involves names, addresses, and credit ratings. The Social Media business is not about real society. At best, narrow interest groups will thrive.
Social media has a reputation for being emotionally chaotic. Some days it can be fulfilling, and other days it can be a box of horrors. If we’re going to succeed in our mission of creating social media that operates as a sustainable public commons, these tools need to not just be good in theory, but actually help create a better social space than what has come before.
Without an anchor in real social trust, the above is either hopelessly naive or calculated to sound attractive to investors.
