Photo app Hyper wants to put brakes on cyberbullying with community voting

Cyberbullying has become more prevalent in recent years, especially with 92 percent of teens spending their time online daily, according to the Pew Research Center. StopBullying.gov says 15 percent of high school students (grades 9-12) were bullied online, and 22 percent of college students reported being victims of cyberbullying. The effects could follow these youngters into adulthood. While some social media platforms have allowed the problem to run rampant, such as the now-defunct Secret (which allowed total anonymity), others have been more proactive about the issue. One such new service is a photo-sharing app called Hyper, which seeks to combat the rise in online bullying (via The Huffington Post).

Hyper is based around community interests, as opposed to individual profiles; users can choose to post anonymously, if they wish. They share photos based on interests, with hashtags such as #music or #gamers, and the community votes on photos in each genre. Each photo is loaded in real-time and it can rise to the top or fall to the bottom, depending on community interest. As HuffPo points out, it’s much like “upvotes” on Reddit.

Hyper co-creator Dan Frieber spoke with ThinkProgress and addressed his app’s intentions on combating cyberbullying. Frieber said he would allow the voting system to decide, and intervene only when extremely necessary. “The system of voting that we have actually takes care of the bullying comments, and if it gets out of control, we get rid of it through moderation,” he says. “As soon as you get in there to hate, it gets downvoted.”

According to ThinkProgress, Hyper is more supportive of marginalized groups, like the LGBT community. Those who identified as LGBT were more likely to be cyberbullied than their heterosexual peers. Frieber admitted that like every online community, there will still be disagreements and arguing, but connecting over interests as opposed to personal profiles is effectively mitigating the effects of cyberbullying. “Our interests are what make us who we are, that’s who we actually are. When you connect people this way, it’s natural,” he says.

I paid Meta to ‘verify’ me — here’s what actually happened

In the fall of 2023 I decided to do a little experiment in the height of the “blue check” hysteria. Twitter had shifted from verifying accounts based (more or less) on merit or importance and instead would let users pay for a blue checkmark. That obviously went (and still goes) badly. Meanwhile, Meta opened its own verification service earlier in the year, called Meta Verified.

Mostly aimed at “creators,” Meta Verified costs $15 a month and helps you “establish your account authenticity and help[s] your community know it’s the real us with a verified badge." It also gives you “proactive account protection” to help fight impersonation by (in part) requiring you to use two-factor authentication. You’ll also get direct account support “from a real person,” and exclusive features like stickers and stars.

But sometimes you can lose the original files of those moments, leaving the Instagram copy as the only available one . While you may be happy to leave it up there, it's a lot more convenient to have another version of it downloaded onto your phone or computer. While downloading directly from Instagram can be tricky, there are ways around it. Here are a few easy ways to download Instagram photos.
