Founders Future interview by Joseph Fitzgerald LinkedIn / jmfitzgerald with Karl A L Smith / karlsmith2 founder of All me.
Interview filmed 18th December 2024 Premiered 10th February 2025.
What is All me?
All me is a new social interaction application. All me is very different from existing social media apps because it supports all our digital social interactions in one place. We have designed All me to recognise and support the complexity of our lives. Instead of focusing on features and functions the app is focused on you, what you want to do and how you want to interact.
Why are we building this?
All me is unlike current social media. Our existing social media no longer allows us to develop and construct the social interactions we desire, as the social media landscape becomes less social and more filled with garbage. All me is a direct response to Enshittification (Cory Doctorow Nov 2022), also known as crapification and platform decay, is the term used to describe the pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.
