Social media can be tough for HSPs. Curious… does anyone design with sensory processing sensitivity in mind? 15–20% of people have a brain difference called sensory processing sensitivity—a trait that affects how we process information, emotion, and sensory input. I rarely hear people talk about this…

Never heard of designing for this specifically, but I certainly wasn’t aware the % was so high. There has been talk here of a slow client for Farcaster, and this would be an interesting consideration there, but it’s kinda antithetical. Slow life isn’t about slowing down, but using the appropriate speed. Sometimes that’s fast. Chat is best fast. Social media is (often) online chat. Newsletters are slower. Novels slow. Do HSPs gravitate to slower media, do you know? Also, I think designing kindly captures a lot of sensitivities without needing to be specific. But specific feedback is always welcome, even if it needs to be aggregated in practice. That said, accessibility tools have come a long way and I’d love the next phase to be one where we can bring our own algorithms/preferences in our portable (crypto) profile. DIDs are an inevitability imo, would be rad to be able to cater for a huge spectrum of sensitivities.

You’re right, social media can be tough for highly sensitive people. It’s interesting that sensory processing sensitivity isn’t often considered in design, even though it’s a trait many people have.
