One's own experience is literally what "social experience" in SX stands for. And then projects upwards from Personal Needs, via motivated action based on them, to how they relate to other people, and ultimately at largest societal scale how they contribute to our hypercomplex 'construct of society'. See Pyramid of Perspective model at: https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#pyramid-of-perspective Related notion in that article is Personal social networking. An approach that encourages making comparison and analogy with familiar social constructs offline, where we do social networking for ages. And then tell me e.g. where your local Moderation force operates, ready to slap you on the wrist for saying something nasty. Or ostracizes / silences you, 3-strikes you're out (if you are lucky). Countless things we build online are ultra-weird offline.
