Creating a new media platform to foster free, open, & healthy societies
To create a better world we need a better Web. It’s time to design our technologies to elevate humanity.
A Humane Social Media Ecosystem Design Project
Mosaic is bringing together a multidisciplinary community of technologists, as well as creative subject matter experts from across the social sciences, to design a human-centered social media ecosystem. Previous efforts have made progress on one or more facets of the social media problem, but haven’t yet combined forces around a holistic design process to produce a viable alternative to the existing social media paradigm.
Bringing People Together
Mosaic is connecting teams, technologies, and investors, for regenerative social Web projects
Teams
Mosaic’s network includes some of the best software engineers and thinkers in the decentralized Web movement. They have extraordinary understanding of key technologies and understand how to pragmatically apply them to real world use cases.
Technologies
The technologies to build the next generation Web are finally here! We have identified the most robust emergent technologies capable of enabling the free and open Web it was originally intended to be.
Investors
Mosaic partners with investors who want to have a lasting positive impact on society by funding sustainable systemic solutions. Mosaic’s funding models aim for equitable returns to investors while maximizing long term benefits to the common good.
Use Cases
These are some use cases that we could start with
Independent media
We can empower content creators to control their destiny by enabling decentralized publishing sites that cannot be manipulated or taken away without due process. Let’s give creators the ability to customize their relationship with their audience and receive all of the revenue paid by their subscribers.
Communities of Interest
Create online groups that are independent from any centralized platform and are moderated by people that are natural members of the community, not some disconnected multinational organization. Group owners can choose from advertising or a subscription business model and groups can be private or public.
Personal News Feed
Rather that depending on secret algorithms that maximize your time on site for the sake of ad revenue we can enable custom algorithms that empower you to see the posts you want to see when you want to see them. Easily switch between custom views (friends and family, close friends, etc…) based on your preferences at the time.
