Ask HN: What would a Facebook that isn't evil look like?
6 by smw | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I wonder if it's possible to make a service that lets us keep up with our family and friends, have productive discussions, share pictures, invite each other to parties, and not make the world darker? What would it look like? Non profit? Small yearly subscription? Pay for storage? I think the distributed answers have failed, sadly, mostly due to barrier to entry. Is it worth building something that isn't advertising driven to fill this niche? Is it possible for such a best to gain traction in the current environment?
