At some point in most social media companies' histories, dating all the way back to Facebook's role in global "democratization" during Arab Spring, early social media success has been focused on positive effects.So there is good reason for the next big thing in social media to be all about positivity, and here we are again, with social media company Discord announcing the acquisition of Gas this week, a quickly growing social media company designed to promote positive affirmations.In just two months since its August launch, Gas surpassed TikTok and BeReal in Apple's App Store free app rankings, reaching 1 million daily active users.Its founder Nikita Bier previously sold tbh, another poll-based app, to Facebook in 2017, but the app was shut down in less than a year due to low usage.The company also has premium membership features, allowing creators and community owners to require a subscription to access all or part of their server, tiered perks, and view analytics on member engagement."
