In this episode, I speak with Mica Le John. Mica is a writer, technologist, and educator, and the CEO and co-founder of 2SWIM, a social messaging app with an emphasis on close connections and private communities. 2SWIM will be for everybody but is currently invite-only for POC-, LGBTQ+-, and/or womxn-centric communities, creators and brands (and their allies).
How have online communities changed in the light of the COVID-19 crisis?
How can we reimagine these virtual communities to moved them from being spaces for performance to spaces for engagement?
Can social networks generate value for users instead of extracting it?
