Awesome. Caution: long post.
This is about to get serious.
Fandifi BETA has accomplished what it set out to accomplish: locating a benchmark for what is now possible within an online universe, not a metaverse. A better platform is not for cartoon people, but a place where real people interact. Competition is a form of human interaction. It's normal and good and is what real people do.
Both Facebook and Twitter attempted to create interactive platforms but were delusional. Both FB and Twitter thought people would "automatically play nice and fairly."
Instead, people interacted like real people: competitively and sometimes brutally toward others.
Online needs to be a place people remain themselves. They don't need to pretend to being perfect, as FB often requires. Nor do they need to pretend to being angry and superior to all others, as Twitter often requires.
Both FB and Twitter failed because both attempted to manipulate people into being something other than what they are: real people.
But here comes Fandifi and they want people to be themselves while interacting around sports-like activities.
The post-BETA date of Nov 10 has been announced as the date the new platform begins.
I'm truly looking forward to seeing how gaming changes once fans can interact in ways other than just playing the game.
Fandifi seems to want people to just be themselves.
What's going to happen?
As I've written before, if this works it will be a big deal.
Could Fandifi grow to be a next iteration of FB or Twitter? Well, that's an ambitious thought. But it is how competition works.
Tik-Tok came out of nowhere and took over the online world, making it new again. The online world is begging for more ways to help people become real: more real people doing real things.
F the politics. Politics will eventually kill FB, deservedly so. We will see if Twitter survives politics.
Fandifi needs to escape politics and let people breathe again, but online.
Has Fandifi discovered the next new online experience? Something new, exciting, thrilling because it's real, not pretend?
If so, then we--this board--are in for some fun.
Has Fandifi put together a platform/program which can capture a sizable piece of this new, post-covid generation?
This new generation doesn't interact face2face. They specialize in non-F2F but intense online interactivity.
Does Fandifi have its finger on this pulse?
Can Fandifi respond to them in ways which meaningfully engages them?
History is short, exciting and painful. Facebook/Meta had their online interactive moments, their proverbial 15 minutes in the sun.
People interacted meaningfully on both FB and Twitter (and the others: Instagram, whatsapp, etc.). But now these platforms have lost their edge, their cache coolness. They lost because they tried to manipulate people into becoming robotic creatures.
Can Fandifi swoop in and capture imaginations?
Both FB and Twitter attempted to create a friendly interactive environment only to discover their customers seemingly incapable of remaining friendly.
On both platforms, FB and TWTR customers turned combative.
This is critical: has Fandifi created something which allows people to have a "real" experience which genuinely excites people, as happened in the early years of both FB and Twitter?
Has Fandifi discovered a new way for people to interact, allowing both genuine emotion as well as a way to allow their competitive personalities to join the interaction?
Fandifi doesn't need to pretend. Competition, even combative non-F2F interaction, might be interesting. This might be the next wave of online interaction.
Again, if Fandifi has created something new, we might be in for a great ride.
So far, online experiences have been mostly BS, packaged manure being sold as sweet. And sure, some of the experiences were genuinely sweet. Seeing real-time online photos seen thousands of miles away was extraordinary.
But now what? Is that all there is?
Was this all pretend, a way to get our data and nothing more?
No chance of that. The next new thing is out here, waiting to be found. And it is how to allow people to be more human online. The current ways of this are in the process of failing.
Perhaps Fandifi has discovered the next ride, the next platform to get us to be more human.
If Fandifi has found a way, if the Fandifi customer experiences real life, real emotion, and a sense of real satisfaction, even to fight for something real, then this board will have a fun year.
Nov 10: I'll be watching.
Go Fandifi. GLTA
