Social media isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed. Designed for ads. Not people.

Dojo is officially on the App Store. Creative communities deserve a better place to exist online. Dojo is built for groups that make things: photographers, designers, filmmakers, writers, artists, and everyone in between. Share your work. Get feedback. Start challenges. Collaborate. Build culture around what you create.

Prompting is a start. Designing spaces with intent baked in is the real unlock.
The X algorithm should be promptable. Prompt: No politics today - just the best AI innovations. @nikitabier @elonmusk

Most ‘community’ online is just an audience with a comment section.

All social platforms today optimize for what’s easy to measure, not what actually matters.

Merry Christmas to everyone! 🎄

The biggest mistake we made online was automating connection.
11
Most things that feel broken online weren’t ruined by bad intentions. They were ruined by scale.

Meaning depends on context, trust, and shared norms. Those are fragile. They don’t scale automatically. When you ignore that, you get noise instead of connection.

The solution probably isn’t more amplification. It’s more intention- smaller spaces, clearer boundaries, and real choice over what you engage with. Scale should serve humans, not flatten them.

Lately it feels like we communicate constantly, but rarely slow down enough to actually understand each other.

Lately I’ve noticed that the conversations I remember aren’t the loud ones or the clever ones. They’re the ones where everyone slows down a bit and actually listens. That feels increasingly rare.

Access was the hard problem for a long time. Now we have access to everything, all the time- and we’re still trying to figure out how to protect meaning, attention, and trust inside that abundance. That feels like the real problem to solve next.

A computer shouldn’t decide who you connect with.

We don’t lack information. We lack space to think.

When attention becomes money, honesty becomes expensive.

Algorithms are great at scaling attention. They’re terrible at preserving meaning.

Modern platforms don’t surface what’s meaningful. They surface what’s loud.

Noise scales algorithmically. Signal scales socially. Meaning travels through people and context, not feeds optimized for volume.

That’s the philosophy behind what I’m building with Dojo. Signal doesn’t need amplification. It needs space.
