The FABB Social Media Incubator

We think social media is broken.

Let's get together and try to fix it.

Social media has revolutionised how we connect and access and share information, but its impact on society is deeply problematic.

Algorithms emphasise emotion over facts, create echo chambers and allow fake news and harmful content to be spread. The lack of meaningful real-life connection, combined with constant comparisons and validation-seeking, contributes to psychological issues like anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

FABB Social Media wants to address these complex issues by creating a tailor-made incubator program that will focus on people/initiatives that want to change how we use social media.

We identified three main ways to achieve this:

• Educating the user to enable conscious use
• Preventing or treating the psychological effects of social media use
• Reducing use of social media

Our initiative will start with a kick-off event to bring the relevant people together and form the basis for our incubator program.
