Welcome to the beginning of something bold and necessary.
We created this space because, with the limitations of traditional social networks, it’s become clear that relying on platforms that can vanish with the flip of a switch isn’t sustainable. Recent events in the news have shown us how fragile these digital spaces can be. It’s long past time to build something grassroots, something we own, and something we control.
This isn’t a space about numbers or visibility. If you’re just here to be entertained, this might not be the right fit. Instead, this community is for those who want to share knowledge, engage in meaningful dialogue, and spark change. We’re walking the talk—and we hope you’ll join us.
What You Need to Know
1) Save Your Data: We don’t yet have the capability to allow users to export their own data. For now, we strongly encourage you to keep a copy of anything important that you share here. This has always been our advice, and it remains essential.
2) Testing Phase: This is still a work in progress! Head to the Feedback section to report issues, glitches, or ideas for features you’d like to see. Your input is invaluable in shaping this space.
3) Invite Others: Yes, you can invite like-minded people to join. Let’s grow organically with those who share our vision.
4) No Algorithms, No Popups: Like you, we’re tired of algorithms deciding what we see and popups ruining the flow. Instead of just complaining, we’re building a better solution together.
5) Personas for Testing: Some personas have been created for testing purposes and are not real people. These are here to enhance the testing phase and ensure the platform functions smoothly.
What’s Coming
For full transparency, there will always be a free aspect of this community. However, hosting, moderation, and expansion aren’t free. We’re considering options like:
1) Niche Forums: Building or teaching others how to create their own forums within this network.
2) Affiliate Links & Sponsorships: While you might see these, we promise no invasive ads or popups.
Policies and Moderation
You won’t have to deal with censorship or shadow banning here. However, we have a zero-tolerance policy for discussions of illegal activity. Moderation is at our discretion, so please help us maintain a respectful and engaging environment. Be sure to read our policies before diving in.
This Is Bigger Than Us
This energy is about using what we know to be a catalyst for change. Together, we can create a space that’s safe, meaningful, and driven by community—not algorithms or corporate interests.
Let’s build, learn, and grow—together. Welcome to the movement!
With Gratitude, courtney
