Fluffy message incoming, feel free to ignore. :)
I'll post this since some GNUNet folks here are interested in "social" applications : https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/06/the-app-that-does-nothing/529764/?utm_source=fbb I donno if that article should be taken too seriously, but it suggest the many major "social" sites should be viewed more as video games, and less as actual communications tools. There are definitely important compromises to make for usability, but this suggests that one should take inspiration from applications like pads or more purposeful sites like GitHub, or even StackExchange and Wikipedia, as opposed to Twitter or Facebook. I've heard similar sentiments from various people, normally expressed more like "I want to build something useful, not just a privacy preserving facebook". This silly android app and the ideas behind it looked like an interesting argument for this position. Jeff
