Everyone wants to have a good time with online dating, but only a few can really enjoy it. Why? We talk about it with Dr. Johanna Degen a.k.a. “Dr Tinder”. In this interview, the social and media psychologist explains how “dating app fatigue” occurs, what you can do about it and why ghosting should never be an option. Unfortunately, when it comes to love, it’s often also about hate. And there’s a lot of it on the internet. We asked participants at re:publica Berlin to find out what needs to be done to combat hate speech.

How should we actually imagine the digital future? We dare to try with re:publica co-founder Markus Beckedahl: dreaming of digital utopias and an internet that is based on open source, fair cooperation and designed with users in mind. Talking about digital utopias automatically means talking about net politics. What developments make Markus Beckedahl optimistic? And where has he been wrong in 17 years of re:publica? Find out in this episode.
