Welcome @Polemix_io to the Be Kind Tech Fund! The BKTF funds initiatives that counteract the adverse effects of technology. For example, the constant flow of opinions is guided by algorithms prioritizing radical views. These wrong incentives lead to the polarization of ideas.

[Guibert Englebienne @guibert]

Polemix uses Web3 to change how we relate to the world’s top opinion leaders. For supporters: instead of liking a post, buy Proof of Support collectibles and gain access to the leader. For opponents: there are economic incentives for respectful replies. A game changer!

[Be Kind Tech Fund @BeKindTechFund]
