In this article I will explain why the diversity of social networks is not always optimal and how today’s Social Media try to put their users into a bubble.

Of course I will talk about the solution to this problems

First, lets talk about Users. They have two objectives, consume and create content. For this, they need platforms that let them do this activities as quick as simple and possible. Fortunately we have those platforms!

But, there are some problems. Users need an specific platform for each activity. This may not seem as a trouble at all, but let’s think for a bit 🤔

When using a new platform, users have to learn the basic plus the new complex implementations. It’s a new UX/UI users have to learn from 0.

A user profile is packed with all his data. This data, varies based on the platform they are using. Followers, photos, history and preferences are some examples of it. They have to start all over again when moving to new experiences.

Each platform is a new identity. Imagine being “@Juampi” on every platform you use. Suddenly a new app is trending, but someone took your handle before you. Now you are “@Juampi341”, yes, that SUCKS.

Also, in the worst scenario, they can now impersonate you and scam the community!

Having one password and one e-mail/username for each platform doesn’t scale at all. Users have 10 apps on their phone, clicking ‘forget password’ on every log in.

This has a reason behind. Each platform, wants to keep their users as much as possible into their app. They want us to be slaves from their interfaces.

"They want to keep users in a Bubbles 🫧”

It’s called @LensProtocol 🌿

Lens it’s a free and open ecosystem, where users can upload multiple types of data and visualize them from different interfaces.

In Lens, users can upload content from any dApp and, in most cases, they support multiple type of files 📂

Not only this, because of being an ecosystem, users can post 📝 from one dApp and visualize 👀 the content from a different one in a completely new interface!

🎬 Uploading a video on @lenstubexyz and watching it from @lensterxyz

📸 Uploading a photo on @Fanstasticok and collecting it from @orbwagmi to then put it in auction in @lensport_io

👤 Maybe following someone on @phaverapp and like his post from @lenstaxyz

One handle, one profile, one identity, same data, multiple platform. Just connect your wallet and ✨, all your data imported to the new app.

That’s the magic of Lens 🌿

Disclaimer: Magic don’t exist, is just a bunch of Devs and tech stuff 😂C

New platforms are appearing every day, competing for users retention, without looking the whole scope.

Protocols like Lens are bringing a new experience without taking away what we know. Lens is a new paradigm that won’t kill traditional social media, they only bring an alternative.

It’s time for a change.
