WTF Is This?

Hey.

So you’re probably wondering what this is. Totally fair. Here’s the short version:

This is a social network — like the kind we all used to enjoy before they got turned into ad factories, outrage machines, and data-sucking hellscapes. No algorithms. No brands. No sponsored posts. No “suggestions.” No creepy tracking. Just your friends, your posts, and a clean, chronological timeline.

Basically, it’s Facebook circa 2009 — if it had grown up to be cool instead of evil.

Why Does This Exist?

Because I miss the internet being fun. Because I miss just seeing what our friends are up to. Because shouting into the algorithmic void on apps run by billionaires is exhausting.

While listening to an episode of Never Not Funny (3604 if you're curious), I heard the gang talk about how much they hate Facebook now, and they wish it would just go back to how it was in 2009.

So... I built it. And this is it.

What Can You Do Here?

Plenty, but not too much. I'm not trying to replace the internet. I'm just trying to make it nice again.

  • Post text, links, images, videos, and music
  • Like, dislike, or share posts
  • Likes and dislikes are private
  • Chronological timeline
  • Comment on stuff your friends (and maybe others) post
  • Chat in real-time (or through your favorite XMPP client if you're fancy)
  • Stay in control of your own privacy
  • Browse your timeline in the order things were posted
  • Invite your friends (everyone gets 10 invites — no randos)
  • Export all your data anytime
  • NO ads
  • NO tracking
  • NO selling your info
  • NO creepy engagement bots
  • NO fucking algorithms

Just real posts from real people you actually care about.

Privacy Actually Means Something Here

You’re in control of who sees what, who can find you, and who can talk to you.

Want to disappear from search? Cool.
Only want your posts visible to friends? Done.
Want to block someone forever? Hell yeah.

Here’s what you can control

Search & Friend Requests

  • Appear in search results or not
  • Allow friend requests or not
  • Auto-accept new friends or manually approve

Profile & Friends

  • Set profile visibility (everyone, friends, nobody)
  • Choose who sees your friends list

Posts & Comments

  • Choose who can see your posts
  • Choose who can comment on them
Privacy Settings

You get the idea — you're the boss of your own space.

What’s the Catch?

There isn’t one. Seriously.

You pay $5/month to keep the lights on. No ads, no data selling, no VC overlords telling us to “pivot to video.”

That’s it. You pay for it, you own your experience. No hidden crap.

Who the hell am I?

My name is Geoff Oliver. I've been putting words into computers since the last century.

Wanna Try It?

You’ll need an invite from a current user. Every person gets 10 invites, so ask around.

We’re keeping it invite-only for now to keep the vibe small, cool, and community-focused.

TL;DR

This is social media, but better:

  • Like 2009 again, without the bad parts
  • No ads, no tracking, no billionaires
  • Just your friends and your timeline
  • $5/month. That’s it.

Hope you’ll join us.
