Aligned Social

When social media started, its mission was simple: to help people make meaningful connections with people worldwide. While in some cases it does just that, it does so at a cost. Studies have suggested that across gender and age, there are direct correlations between time spent on social media and depressive symptoms (source: Cureus). It’s become a highlight reel, a way to disassociate, leaving us unsure if any real connection has been made… not to mention the daily pushing of certain narratives. Yet, social media has become a routine part of life, and there have been no better options. Until now.
