Twitter cofounder Ev Williams is backing a new social network called Maven, which trades likes and follows for algorithms designed to foster serendipity and deep discussion.
Mental health experts, regulators, and many internet users themselves have called out the damage that social media can do to mental health. Must it addict, inflame, and depress us? A new social network called Maven aims to offer a healthier alternative, inspired by one scientist’s work in artificial intelligence. The platform eschews likes and follows in favor of letting pure chance play more of a role in what appears in users’ feeds.
“I quit all social media about three years ago because of the hostility, disinformation, brain rot, and advertising,” Benjamin Scott, a philosophy student, says. “A lot of this I believe was an unintended consequence of popularity metrics which tended to boost false, inflammatory, and shocking content.” He says he has been “pleasantly surprised” by Maven.
