high consciousness social media?

[Vynce]

So I'm thinking a lot of about the pros and cons about social media. And while it definitely can be used in a healthy and inspiring way, I still wonder if we hit the end of social media invention and development. There is just a finite amount of things you can do on a smartphone and internet. 

Yet, I wonder what kind of and even IF social media has a right to exist for high developed humans. 

Because every form of "digital stuff" usually distracts and dampens the spirit of life. Makes us less sensible. 

We rarely think back and say "Wow, that day where I just scrolled 6 hours through X was such an amazing experience, I'll never forget." Usually we can't even remember anything we saw and did on media.

So what could be features / ideas / approaches / ect. of media that would meaningfully align with a higher forms of consciousness?

For example I envision a way to spread and show deep and meaningful content over brain-rotted slop (99% of all media). Which is not popular, but high consciousness is not popular in general.

Can we ever breach the barrier that online connections will never feel as meaningful as real life encounters?

How can we deal with sex, free speech and controversy in a more conscious way?

I hope for discussion here.

Some ideas:

- Instead of plain follower counts, make a visible "family tree" or "tribe tree" that shows the connections between you and your followers. -> Who invited whom, who knows whom through whom ect. 

- members of a high conscious social media platform can only post and share if they were actively invited before. make it grow naturally and socially connected.

- if someone misbehaves the one who invited him/her gets also punished. -> establish a sense of responsibility online.

- somehow measure the "value" of any given content. And recommend/spread content that has more intelligence in it.

- incorporate natural sounds, colors, designs, wise quotes and instances to invite people to close the app, make breaks here and there

- maybe have a "emotional scale" that shows via some color code how well your relatives are doing, possible to strenghten contact to people who feel consecutively lonely, lost or unhappy. 

.. 

Just my first thoughts on this. I'll share more in the future.

Deviant art seems like one. Rarely identity involved just people expressing art without censor.

Make a high consciousness group on Facebook or something like that or start your own community group and hire an app designer. This is something Sam Harris did with his app.

So I made a facebook account a few days ago or sometime ago and now it had been suspended. I only posted a few words as a test. To test facebook and then now its been suspended. I posted a few pictures too to know how it works but now I can't use it. Idk why because I barely do anything. I just write a few words.

The last time made was also to access a service but only one time and I forget about it. But now it was suspended.

chatting in discord , discussing about a topic you are intrested in is a high consious social media usage

Instant gratification is always going to err towards the low-brow, cheap and shallow because it takes time and effort to create something that is relatively deep and of high quality.

Your never going to beat slop in quantity at least. High conscious stuff will most likely be more niche as well. You can get a very loyal following though if you ace your niche.

Watching a multi hour spiritual video is ironically hardcore internet usage.
