Transforming Online Engagement for Real-World Change

Transforming Online Engagement for Real-World Change
New Platform Aims to Replace Outrage-Driven Engagement with Real-World Action
Every day, individuals encounter causes they resonate with, yet they are overwhelmed by a deluge of outrage, controversy, and clickbait masquerading as civic engagement. While social media once promised connection and mobilization, the reality has devolved into a fractured attention economy where algorithms foster scrolling instead of proactive engagement.
LiveImpact.io, an innovative online platform currently under development, seeks to revolutionize this experience.
"The algorithm isn't broken. It's doing exactly what it was designed to do: keep you scrolling," said Rick Zwetsch, founder of LiveImpact.io. "But engagement isn't impact. We need tools that help people do something real and actually see the results." This new platform is cause-neutral and allows users to log, track, and share tangible actions they take in support of various causes, whether that be through volunteering, voting, donating, boycotting, or sharing trustworthy resources.
What Sets LiveImpact.io Apart?
Unlike traditional social media platforms that prioritize algorithms, LiveImpact.io avoids optimizing for outrage or profitability. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of real-world actions. Some key features include:
- No Ads – This platform is not driven by profit; content is not boosted.
- No Algorithms – There are no complicated formulas determining what is significant.
- No Noise – The focus is solely on action, tracked in real-time.
- No Politics – The neutrality of the platform allows users to choose their causes.
Research from leading initiatives highlights how algorithmic amplification on platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) tends to favor emotionally charged content, particularly that which expresses anger or targets marginalized groups. While this might enhance engagement metrics, it undermines civic trust, participation, and collaboration.
The Concept Behind LiveImpact.io
LiveImpact.io promotes impactful action rather than mere attention. Users can log the actions they complete that resonate with their values, enabling them to witness their contributions added to a public dashboard reflecting collective impact. This innovative approach resembles using a fitness tracker, but for social change.
Currently, LiveImpact.io is in its pre-launch phase, funded directly by individual supporters rather than advertisers, political organizations, or investors. The team is actively seeking contributions through a fundraising campaign to develop the platform's full capabilities. This grassroots approach underscores their commitment to building something genuine.
Building Infrastructure for Impact
"This is a different kind of project. We're not just building a product; we're building infrastructure for impact," said Zwetsch. "We're taking the challenging route: with no sponsors or shortcuts, just people who desire tools that genuinely work."
LiveImpact.io is designed to render real-world actions visible, measurable, and impactful. Users can track their contributions, from volunteering and donating to boycotting or even shifting their daily routines, understanding how their efforts accumulate alongside others. The goal is clear: foster engagement without the toxic cycle of outrage.
No engagement traps. No sensationalism. Just genuine actions tracked and amplified to foster a more engaged community.
