She founded Communia, which she says is a first-of-its-kind social network addressing “social health” - the aspect of your well-being that stems from your relationships with others. It includes features such as journaling, mood tracking, community support and other resources.

“You can connect with yourself as much as you connect with others,” she says.

The app, aimed at women and non-binary people, also has a more “Twitter-style” feed that can be used anonymously, whether for legal reasons or simply to retain privacy.

    it seems to me that Communia… is basically just trying to profit off of and monetize people’s suffering 😕.

    I’m curious as to what specifically makes you say that?

    Not disagreeing, just genuinely curious.

      Communia operates a free social network, suggesting their revenue likely comes from user data monetization, advertising, or a combination of both. Given their focus on users in challenging circumstances, this raises ethical concerns about their business model and its impact on a vulnerable demographic.
