![LUDDENITES: HIRING FOUNDING MEMBERS
I’m looking for founding members to build and shape a better social media site that’s consentful, joyful, and anti-genAI.
It would be more of a textual/microblogging site like Twitter or Bluesky, and serve as an alternative to those sites with better moderation practices, better privacy (private accounts, blocking that actually works, etc.), and works well for artists and creators.
I want to work with folks who believe that we can still build fun things on the internet that aren’t evil. I want to work with folks who have fondness for the power of online communities, but also acknowledge that technology alone can’t solve the social problems we have in our world.
Some key roles I’m currently looking for:
Fundraising/Partnerships Lead
Lead Software Engineer
Lead Product Designer
I believe in growing our skills on the job and as a team, so it’s ok if you weren’t a VP or CTO at [insert company name here]. I’m looking for folks who believe in the mission and the product.
Here are more details on what I envision the site to be like, if you want to read it: https://blog.wellssanto.com/i-want-to-make-a-better-social-media-site/
