Facebook is destructive to society.We'll invest $100K if you build a replacement

I&#x27;m having a hard time seeing how something coming out of an incubator will be a viable solution to Facebook&#x27;s destructive nature. As long as the solution is for profit, the resulting outcome will be biased towards monetizing user&#x27;s data and causing addictive behavior.<p>IMHO, the money would be better spent funding one of the many open source decentralized solutions such as Mastodon, Secure Scuttlebutt, Beaker Browser, IPFS, etc.

I always thought a neat model for a platform would be based around Dunbars number. Which state you can have roughly 150 stable relationships. The idea would like twitter but not limiting the character length, rather limit the number of friends you have. This makes those &quot;friends&quot; be of more significance. If you want to add a friend you have to remove one as well, assuming you&#x27;re already at the limit.

If the replacement is an internet-based social network then I don&#x27;t think you&#x27;re solving anything. The founding legend of meetup.com is far more compelling: to get people to meet in real life rather than online. Find a way to get people do more of <i>that</i> and you&#x27;ll be on the path to correcting the destruction caused by social media in general.

It fails immediately with &quot;reasonable advertising&quot;.

this is one area where blockchain could be useful. When you cant trust a single entity with your data, blockchain would allow a distributed database and give you control over who can see your data.<p>A distributed repository of data, with multiple vendors providing a variety of user interfaces to access that data.
