I'm sure others do too.

How could we build a communal product for the public? Theoretically, this approach would result in a better product. Practically, it seems nearly impossible.

What are your thoughts?

Edit:

Let me give an example that I have been thinking about since 2009.

It requires a fundamental change from the reach model towards concentric social circles. The social network would allow users to arrange into small topical groups called social circles. These social circles would have a cap of 10 (arbitrary number) members. Each user could take part in many social circles. This inherently limits reach and therefore reduces the burden of misinformation, abuse, and moderation.

This model closely mirrors real social interactions and allows for both private and intimate communication. It also offers a profitable advertising opportunity. A social circle reflects its members’ interests and context.","time":1671111467,"title":"Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?","type":"story"}],[22849208,{"by":"zJayv","descendants":516,"id":22849208,"kids":[22853119,22852900,22852878,22853277,22854192,22852438,22850711,22852385,22852395,22853063,22857615,22854088,22853538,22852605,22853662,22852489,22853765,22854071,22854491,22852762,22852753,22852157,22852897,22861695,22851864,22852413,22852859,22853260,22853237,22853311,22855046,22852398,22852998,22852919,22853224,22852931,22853749,22852764,22853771,22852639,22853071,22854599,22863861,22851480,22854066,22852529,22852573,22852907,22852837,22853243,22853295,22854054,22853849,22853482,22852599,22853559,22851997,22853072,22852625,22853080,22852428,22851066,22854448,22853362,22854570,22854520,22864787,22854400,22849512,22853745,22855193,22853664,22853969,22853385,22856182,22861699,22906046,22853027,22852959,22853391,22852377,22852446,22854165,22853145,22850850,22853949,22853815,22853039,22854464,22853953,22898832,22854578,22853621,22852108,22852528,22852957,22853126,22862707,22852933,22874393,22856589,22854375,22863652,22859055,22853723,22857479,22855896,22853803,22853663,22854462,22854447,22854323,22854679,22853808,22853710,22853757,22852442,22853731,22861624,22854389,22852614,22853726,22853729,22856265,22863168,22853579,22851897,22864779,22853133,22863839,22853774,22860506,22858896,22853818,22857501,22856659,22854305,22854476,22852966,22853719,22857182,22852588,22966415,22874999,22853369,22854157,22853619,22853268,22853337,22852923,22855498,22864877,22853672,22853442,22853128,22862901,22853301,22854171,22854337,22852973,22863815,22856816,22853321,22853454,22860873,22853973,22881683,22853938,22853603,22854764,22860937,22855217,22853597,22852934,22863820,22854227,22852741,22852654,22855289,22854286,22853475,22853115,22898614,22854087,22853833,22852954,22863888,22853578,22853574,22853577,22853567,22853582,22863794,22863789,22854367,22856341],"score":629,"text":"I learned about a ton of useful CLIs, desktop apps, and SaaS products from this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13887237).
