We believe you deserve awareness and control over how you're being manipulated. Attention settings is a practical concept showing how attention-extracting products could be regulated.
Dear Crazy Ones...
we believe it's time for a change. Many of the products we're using every day have been designed to take as much of our time and attention as possible. As a result, we're more anxious, distracted, and isolated than ever before.
Attention Settings are a practical pathway for regulating these kinds of products. By giving you the option to opt-out of certain features or sections, you get to engage with these products on your terms.
Facebook, by means of aggressive growth, became a public utility for our most fundamental human need: human connection. It is only appropriate then, to require Facebook to allow users to engage with that utility without having to sacrifice their time, agency, and mental health because of its addictive design.
We're hoping to provide compelling reasons why this could actually be implemented
Imagine; A version of Facebook that actually shows you what your friends are posting...

Attention Settings is one of three projects we're launching today. Check out the other two:
Potential — A new kind of Home Screen, Daily Planner, and Habit Tracker https://www.producthunt.com/post...
The Humane Tech Library — A collectively curated gallery of humane UX patterns, concepts, and products designed to be more respectful of your attention.
This is a great idea! I love it. I would love it if you make a video and explain your concept in a visual media, that way it'll be easier to share it with people who prefer video over text.
