Social media has become a major element in our lives, simultaneously bringing positive and negative impacts. Most social media platforms are designed to make you stick to your screens rather than tend to your well-being. But that is not what Maunda is for. Founded by Joseph Bamisile and Nabil Rezqui, Maunda is a new breed of social media platform dedicated to promoting a much healthier and positive space for people.
Maunda was built with the idea to be the healthiest social media platform out there. While other platforms stress out most people, make them anxious, or leave them depressed, Maunda ensures that users feel good about their online interactions.
“Uplift”- A Thoughtful Feed
Maunda’s “Uplift” feature makes it striking–a feed that promotes real community interaction and avoids the toxicity and superficiality often associated with traditional social platforms. Uplift allows users to post inspiring messages, random thoughts, and links without the distraction of photos or videos. Clickable links enable users to share resources, while metrics like follower counts and like tallies remain invisible, shifting attention from competition to connection.
By replacing “followers” with “supporters” and “likes” with “loves,” Maunda ensures that every user’s contributions are valued equally. Each post earns points that go towards a Maunda score, promoting positivity and engagement. Strikingly, Maunda rejects algorithm-driven virality, which drives the urge to genuinely connect with others and discover new things every day.
Joseph Bamisile knows how important mental health is in this strenuous modern world. This is achieved through Maunda’s features in promoting healthy usage. For example, it uplifts users and encourages them to take breaks and not spend a lot of time online.
Other Features
Other major features of Maunda include the vanishing journal, meditation sessions (solo and group), daily affirmations, score and points system, among others. They are designed for meaningful interactions rather than just liking or following. Maunda is a platform where people can share themselves and talk about the things that truly matter.
Meet Joseph Bamisile
Joseph Bamisile is the brains behind Maunda. His journey to putting this platform together originated with an honest understanding of how social media currently affects our lives. After spending several years observing its impact on people’s mental health, Joseph couldn’t stand idly by. He wanted to build something that would make a difference in the field of social media, something that wasn’t a source of stress or negativity but a force for good.
Joseph came up with the idea of Maunda by combining high technology with an emphasis on helping people communicate better. He aimed to create an online space where people could truly connect and feel the warmth and meaning.
Joseph’s top priority for Maunda is to make it a great, positive community. He believes social media should be a place where people lift each other up. Maunda was designed to encourage kindness and respect among its users. The platform is coded with inbuilt mechanisms that minimize toxic behavior, ensuring the environment remains welcoming for all members.
Maunda also focuses on quality over quantity. While other social media platforms compel users to have as many followers as possible, this platform emphasizes only meaningful interactions. It’s not about the number of people one connects with; it is about the quality of a connection. Such approaches have helped develop a more satisfying and less stressful social media experience.
Under the leadership of Joseph Bamisile, Maunda is changing how people connect online. In a time when social media can be stressful, Maunda offers a refreshing alternative. It focuses on positive interactions, mental well-being, and genuine connections, showing what social media should be.
