Kenyan social media app ??

This came to mind this morning in the shower so may just be nonsense but why don’t we have our own social media app, developed by us and for us.

We seem to only be using foreign social media apps which is fine but I think as a people, especially given we are a tech hub or one of the tech hubs in Africa, we should at least have a social media app.

I’m sure there are many skilled tech people in Kenya with enough dedication, bringing together of their resources (even if small) can create something that is our own online space.

It could be so cool, and a great place for us as Kenyans to mobilise without foreign opinions, if we needed.

I think our top tech wizards, need to get cracking to be honest. And it doesn’t even need to be as big as instagram or TikTok but just something for us Kenyans, and maybe other East Africans in the future?

I think we need to start thinking bigger as a people and taking control of somethings and not just be consumers of what’s already out there.

Again, this may be waffle as I am not personally in the tech space. Although I’d like to see it happen.
