Ctrl+Shift+3 was created because social media got out of hand. A clear sign is the fact that countries are passing laws preventing certain age groups from using social media. This tells you it's as risky as smoking or drinking alcohol.
We offer a calmer, more sane space to share thoughts and links. No likes, follows, or other vanity counts. Just posts and comments.
Maybe this is how the web should be? A little more sane.

Web 2.5 and 3 got too busy and technical. On top of that social media dominates and still does today. The problem is, they did it wrong. They built platforms with one goal: get rich. Time for w4 (web 4). Web 1 and 2 vibes with modern tech behind the scenes, mixed with privacy/data control, and good vibes.

genuinely like the pitch of going back to something simpler. but the "other platforms just wanted to get rich" framing makes me curious what the actual plan is here. every calm text-first platform eventually needs to pay for hosting and moderation somehow, so what's the model, ads, a paid tier, or is this staying a personal project for now while you figure that part out?

@omri_ben_shoham1 It’s simple. Meta for example focuses on max profit and annual mass layoffs. Eventually any project needs at least enough to pay for web hosting. Beyond that the owner(s) must make a simple decision: Max profit at all costs, or just enough to pay for infrastructure and some employees?

There's an iOS app version too. 🤫 Keep it on the down low.

And a better version of the iOS app is coming. Apple is taking their sweet time approving. Grrr. To the moon, Apple, to the moon.

fair enough, that's a pretty honest way to put it. good luck with the iOS approval, hope Apple speeds up.
