I’ve fantasized about doing something like this but putting in a nonprofit, foundation-based system run by a board of mental health workers, that was designed to actually bring people together. It may still happen. I don’t have the high barrier to entry it takes to start a social network so I’m starting from the other end and doing community organizing instead. Power to the real people offline, who aren’t trying to make a profit off our need for human connection.

Folks who work in social justice will know the acronym “POC” but “p. of c.” I don’t usually encounter.

Are we sure it’s not “prince of caspian?”

My boss claims it has “no effect” to choose where to spend your money.

I remind him, voting with our wallets is literally the only mechanism Capitalism provides for consumer ethics.

It’s Prisoner’s dilemma. When we think 5m people are going to take the action either way, we don’t think our singular efforts matter. But as there are 5m of us taking the action, there are 5m singular efforts that DO matter. If people just don’t give up on the idea.
