"We now have essentially #statesocialmedia in the form of X, where a government agency, pseudo-agency #DOGE is posting primarily to the platform as its means of communicating with the public—where we have deep imbrication of a certain kind of political power with #socialmedia networks. Everything we feared is happening in an almost cartoonishly exaggerated way.
And yet we see a sense that there are alternatives, but those alternatives have not swept in to replace the dominant forces."

Social media and society go hand in hand. Right now, both are in turmoil.

That's why we believe that the focus should be on building community. Groups of people who can come together under the shared banner of an interest, a location, or a belief.

Thanks to the power of the open social web, these communities can not only span across the world, but across platforms.

We're giving you the ability to build community here. Stay tuned 👀

A distressed graphic with the word 'TURMOIL' highlighted across the page. The copy reads: Social media is in turmoil. Society reflects its method of communication. With social media overrun by billionaires, hateful politics, and bot accounts how can we protect society?
