Social networking at its bare minimum, for a better world.

We believe social media should be less, so we've broken it down to the bare minimum by eliminating: - Identity - Perpetuity - Virality Aiming to push towards an honest, selfless, and open online conversation, while minimizing social impact and footprint.

Hey PH! 🤗 This past week I've been working on a little experiment, and I think it's now ready to see the light of day. I wanted to share it with the community to get some feedback. I believe it's essential that we begin to reduce our online social impact and footprint, and that's what Efimero aims to do, by bringing social back to the bare minimum by stripping 3 core components: Identity. Everything you share doesn't need to wear your name (or your face!), get your thoughts out of your mind, without the anxiety that comes from sharing online today. Perpetuity. Just as your content doesn't always need to represent you, it also doesn't have to last forever. Content on Efimero can only be viewed by people who were online when it was created. If you missed it, it's gone. Virality. There's no algorithm, no recommendations, mixed with the lack of identity or perpetuity; there is absolutely no virality within Efimero. We've seen the impact social media can have on our world, from the mundane to the extremely important. This is why I believe a healthy online social environment should reduce its global and individual impact to a bare minimum, making it nothing more than a communication and entertainment tool. To wrap it up, Efimero aims to create a social platform that promotes an honest, selfless and open conversation, where nothing really lasts or matters.

@marco_balbona interesting idea. Are there groups, friends lists, etc? Or is the idea to create one global uncurated network?

This makes me think of Facebook turning into Notion. Very minimal. I am not sure how to create a group with this, I feel like I can only socialize with myself. A demo or introduction would be nice. Looks great btw.

@jessehojjensen Thanks for the comment and feedback. I agree it may come across a bit confusing right now. You cannot create groups, add anyone etc, the idea is to keep the interactions as minimal as possible. I designed it really as a place to share what’s on your mind, maybe spark a random conversation, and it being gone. No identity, no perpetuity, just a way to release your thoughts without the anxiety that social media creates. ☺️
