What happens when the principles of a digital platform change?

Our hypothesis: Different product design can lead to a different digital experience and different patterns of use.

Social Media

Endless Entertainment

Public comparison

Artificial Stimulation

  • Content keep going
  • Influencers bring lifestyles, body ideals, consumption and image of success into children's everyday lives.
  • Permanent attention triggers

Kid's phone usage

Excessive, repetitive and low-conscious usage

A closed social environment

  • Games finish, stories come to an end and Buzz is not an endless feed.
  • Social content primarily comes from their own friend circle.
  • Activity, creativity and play shape something the group owns together — the Dings.

Shorter, more intentional and socially grounded usage

What we want to understand

Does this different product logic lead to a different digital experience and different patterns of use?

Four questions are at the centre of the test:

Usage behaviour:

Does it become easier to put the phone down again?

Group conflict:

Can the moderation system help reduce escalation?

Social comparison:

Is there less social pressure without public likes, follower counts and rankings?

Unfamiliar & idealised content:

Is there less digital stress without continuous exposure to unfamiliar and idealised worlds?

Help us understand what works differently

Your feedback helps us understand and improve snërqq under real-world conditions.

The clearest insights come when kids and teens:

Start together with the friends who matter most

snërqq comes alive through the friend group. Kids and teens should therefore start together with the friends they already communicate with regularly in everyday digital life. This means the group is active on snërqq together from the beginning.

Pause other social media platforms

The clearest results come when children use snërqq without parallel use of other social media platforms. That matters because snërqq follows a different system logic: no endless feeds, natural stopping points, and a calmer rhythm of use.

What we want to learn and improve

We want to understand how kids and teens actually use the snërqq world:

  • What do they enjoy most?
  • How do they interact with the Dings?
  • Which creative tools and games do they use?
  • Do they enjoy Yard Clips?
  • How do Chat, Sneqs, Buzz and Yard work together?

These insights feed directly into the development of snërqq.
