With the ever-accelerating adoption of social media and algorithms exploiting user preferences, individuals are more prone to be drawn into their own information bubble.

These information bubbles can provide a sense of comfort and validation, but they also pose significant risks to individual and societal well-being by fostering narrow-mindedness, division, and misinformation. It's essential to actively seek out diverse perspectives, engage information with a critical mind, and remain open to challenging your own beliefs in order to mitigate these risks and foster a more inclusive and informed society.

Hence, we introduce the 'Bubble Buster'.

The Bubble Buster is add-on app for Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and Signal with the sole purpose of busting your own personal bubble. Once installed and activated the app will add one or more randomly selected individuals to your existing and new groups.

Several options and settings are available to accommodate for your personal situation:

Degree
A number between 2 and 7, indicating the relative ‘distance’ to unfamiliar additional guests (‘uag’). Setting this number to 2 means only friends of friends will be invited. Setting this number to 7 could mean you end up with uags from 8 different time zones.

Impact
Three modes of operations are available.
- PlusOne: Add 1 uag to your groups
- AddOneGetOne: Add 1 uag for every member in your group.
- WinSomeLoseSome: Replace one of the existing members in a group with an uag.

To quote Groucho Marx: “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.”

Get ready to be surprised. Friendship is overrated.

The Bubble Buster can be found in our portique.
