It rejects the social media advertising model, promising an ad-free environment where user data isn't sold to advertisers.

Tackling misinformation through collective sensemaking
This article describes Hunome's participation at MozFest 2022, where participants collaboratively built understanding around misinformation as a critical issue. The piece frames misinformation as a problem requiring multidimensional perspectives to address effectively, arguing that current online environments make it difficult to achieve shared understanding due to polarized "us and them" thinking. The article suggests that exposure to one-sided narratives over time can lead people to accept false information, potentially contributing to harmful outcomes when people lack the context to recognize misinformation. The piece positions Hunome's approach as fostering multidisciplinary sensemaking that makes one-sided worldviews more difficult to maintain, claiming this helps develop what they call "perceptiveness muscle." The article concludes by suggesting that human ingenuity creates valuable connections and that their platform facilitates "assisted serendipity" as a driver for creativity and innovation in understanding complex issues like misinformation.
