Can decentralized platforms heal the Internet’s trust problem? and improve digital well-being?

#Digital #burnout #trust #decentralizedplatforms

🎓 Advanced Master in Digital Strategies at GEM Paris
The internet has a #digitaltrust problem: misinformation, algorithms, vanishing privacy, ...
I’m reseraching how #decentralisedplatforms like #Bluesky (built on #ATProtocol) could reshape the #userplatform relationship.

💬 Curious to hear from people working in #tech, #strategy, #digitalethics ...

Saw this conversation today about burnout and it reminded me that everyone’s “cure” is actually a redesign.
Not quitting, not escaping but rebuilding pace.

How do you personally recharge when everything feels too online ❓
how do you cure burnout?

I opened five social apps this morning before my brain even woke up (I attached proof!!)

Not to check anything... just to feel awake.

It made me wonder: when did “being online” stop meaning connected and start meaning stimulated?

Do you ever scroll just to fill the silence❓

Log off. Breathe. You just broke the spell.
We know it's not always that simple, though.

"I'm just going to quickly check my notifications" a lie before a 2-hour emotional journey.
If this is your reality, it's not a lack of willpower. The platforms are designed to hijack your attention. The good news? You can build defenses. How ? Read our article :

We can all agree that whatever he made doesn’t look great...
