One of the biggest problems in local communities is how social media (usually in Nextdoor or Facebook groups) acts like acid for our social bonds. Your neighbors are looking for pancake breakfasts and kids shoveling driveways. What they get instead is anger over Orange Dictator or The Libs.

This divisiveness hurts across the world, but is painful when it goes local. These are people you see at the grocery store or teachers who can retaliate against your kids.

We just launched a hateless social media platform. People can speak freely on any topic, including politics. But a clever combination of aliases, real names, and respect functionality kills off the nastiness.

If any of this rings true to you, I'd love to help.
