notmakethe2021

Slowly but surely, we are shifting from an employee experience to a life experience as an employee. Welcome to the race for likes where steroids are replaced by a new expense line for your public relation or new layers of personal branding. At the finish line: a world of recommendations pushed by the platforms’ algorithms lead by stupid viral contents liked & shared 10,000+ times. Let's take a deep breath and meet by a campfire where we can talk in private message threads rather than on open forums and feeds. Let’s enjoy the lost feeling of micro-community connected around one common interest: interactions should be coming from what we do rather than social media impact. A (re)discover of knowing each others in ways that go beyond mass market announcements. Welcome to http://notmakethe2021.com

Congrats on the launch Vincent!! 👏

I share many of your sentiments @vincent_robert A year and a half ago, I deleted all of my social media platforms (I didn't delete LinkedIn, but I stopped signing on.) I felt much like you like I'm too busy actually doing my job/working on side-projects to brand myself appropriately. I also have this additional complex of feeling compelled to gamify things. I can't really deal with all of the numbers on social media platforms (like followers, likes, shares, views, etc), without wanting to "win the game" by making those numbers go up. The thing about trying to "win the social media game" is that it takes a lot of time, actually, to write really good posts or take really good pics... time that I don't have... because I'm too busy actually doing my job/working on side-projects haha I've really enjoyed my life without social media, but over time I've learned that social media really isn't the problem... it's the current systems in place. I still think that connecting with others online is an amazing experience, but I just can't get with the incumbent incentive systems. I'd prefer a micro-community. I see in one of the demo photos that notmakethe2021 is a slack channel. I'd mention it in the product description as well so that it's not easily missed :) What kind of conversation do you expect to take place in the channel? What's your vision for it? What do you hope it may become? ?makers
