Social networks broke when they decided your attention was the product. Engagement algorithms reward outrage. Bots flood every platform. Ads require harvesting everything you do. We built SOCIAL on a different premise: charge people a fair price, give them a genuinely good experience, and let the community govern itself.
$13.37/month is enough to keep the lights on without selling your data. It is also enough to make you think twice before being a jerk — because there are real consequences to getting banned.
Skin in the game. Free platforms attract free-rider behavior. When membership costs something, the average quality of interaction goes up. People who pay expect quality and deliver it.
No algorithmic amplification. We do not sort by controversy, outrage, or engagement score. Feeds are chronological. You follow people and hashtags; what they post is what you see.
Contained politics. Political content belongs in /s/politics. Everywhere else, it's off-topic by design. Communities stay focused on what they were created for.
Your data is not for sale. No advertisers. No third-party data brokers. No tracking pixels. Revenue comes entirely from subscriptions.
Create or join communities around specific interests. One community per member during beta — so people build things they actually care about.
Follow tags across all communities. Surface the conversations that matter to you without subscribing to every community individually.
Ephemeral chat rooms tied to communities. Messages disappear after 13 hours and 37 minutes. Real conversation, no permanent record.
End-to-end encrypted direct messages. We cannot read them. You control who can reach you. More on this below.
Community owners moderate their own spaces. Site-wide rules are narrow and written down. No shadow-banning, no secret scoring.
No quote-posting designed to mob people. No sorting by report count or controversy. The feed is calm by architecture, not by whack-a-mole moderation.
When you send a direct message on SOCIAL, it is encrypted on your device before it leaves your browser. The ciphertext travels through our servers and is stored there, but we have no key — we cannot decrypt it, read it, hand it to advertisers, or produce it in response to a subpoena (because we don't have it).
Messages are decrypted only on the recipient's device, using keys that never leave their browser. If you lose access to your device and clear your browser storage, old messages are gone — that is the trade-off for genuine privacy.
You control who can message you: everyone, people you follow, or no one.
For the security-conscious. Wire format: P256-X3DH-DR-HKDF-SHA256-AES256-GCM v2
X3DH provides authenticated key agreement with deniability. The Double Ratchet provides forward secrecy (past messages stay safe if a session key is leaked) and break-in recovery (future messages re-randomize the key state). One-time prekeys prevent replay and ensure each session starts from fresh entropy. All cryptographic primitives use the browser's native WebCrypto API — no third-party crypto library.
SOCIAL runs entirely on Cloudflare's global network — Workers, Durable Objects, D1, and R2. There are no third-party analytics vendors, no ad networks, and no external data processors for core functionality. Your content lives on infrastructure that is geographically close to you and does not leave it to be mined.
