Intro

hello. i'm alex. i built dayoff. I have no idea if this idea is going to work or not, but it's something that's bugged me for a while. Why do social media apps become toxic engagement farms instead of actually connecting people? Based on what I've found, it's mostly because for-profit social media empires rely on algorithms that keep people hooked on their platforms. I don't have any plans for that. I just want a place to find real connection. It's rare, but it's out there. And it's something that AI will never replace. So i'm going for it. I have no idea how to market it, so if you want to be part of growing this, send me a message. I'd love to hear from you. I'm open to all kinds of feedback. I hope you get some value out of this and I hope we can shape this to be a supportive, uplifting community.

Politics

What I care about politically, and why: Right now, it's AI. We're not equipped politically to handle the wave of AI repercussions with taxation and safety nets. I've been losing sleep over this and I don't think enough people realize how powerful AI is. Like as a web developer, my work is pretty much on autopilot. That's why I get to work on this project. And while I think it's important to keep calm about it, I also think I need to pivot to focusing on political action around this, because it directly affects any white collar job out there. It's tough as-is in the job market, but the outlook is bad. I hate to be a downer, and I'd love someone to talk me down from this. Please vote.
