Modern-day social media is designed to suck users in and to keep them on their phones for hours on end. Dark patterns and short-form content make users addicted, without adding real value.
Social media was originally designed to connect people; now it is driving us further apart. With growing privacy concerns regarding American and Chinese platforms, there is a real need for change.
Real connections with real people, no fake personas or curated highlights
Your privacy and wellbeing are our top priorities, always
Bringing back the warmth and simplicity of early social media
We aim to recapture the joy of early social media by creating an environment where users connect with friends instead of followers.
This approach fosters genuine interpersonal relationships rather than parasocial connections with celebrities and influencers.
