There's a focus on making games here for obvious reasons, and more generally social networking is the big thing (which is possibly justified). But what do you think alt-tech's biggest priority should be at this point?
A couple possibilities:
-
A genuinely free-speech social network. Not "we'll cave to the big corps as soon as they threaten to delist us" but a network that doesn't count on being listed in the App Store, is willing to distribute its own ipas/apks, etc.
-
An alt-tech search engine that doesn't just get its results from the big corp search engines and only indexes non-woke sites. For example, pulling results only from Infogalactic, and not Wikipedia.
An alt-tech search engine is way less exhausting.
Social media consumes a huge amount of resources before you even get to the ideologues. You got the trolls, the shitposters, the stealth advertisers, etc. Then after those guys you get into the actual-child-porn posters, the shock-value-posters, the slow spiral of certain pathological ways of thinking taking it over, etc. Then - after all that - you fainlly get to the ideologues and paid political script poster types.
And that's also before you consider that honestly social media is a plague on humanity to begin with.
