How it works

How we keep it human.

πŸ™‚ you, a real human vs πŸ€– a bot trying to get in

Scroll down. You'll walk through the door. So will the bot. Watch what happens to each.

Cost to fake a humanalmost nothing, so far
01

A real human, checked at the door

A quick live check with your camera. A few seconds to confirm a real, present person, not a stored photo, not a reused video. Your "verified human" status is set by our servers in that moment. A script can't switch it on, and you can't self-assign it. About as long as unlocking your phone.

no live persona bot here: a stored image. the check fails.
02

An invite from someone real

Early on, humans let humans in. You arrive already connected to the person who vouched for you. That keeps growth slow, clean, and personal. It also makes ban-evasion hard: a removed account can't just invite itself back in.

no one vouchesa bot here: nobody real will invite it. it never connects.
03

Words you actually typed

Posts are typed by hand, in the app. No pasting. No AI polish. No generation. Photos and video are captured live in the app, never uploaded. In a world where everyone's prose is suspiciously perfect, a little raw and imperfect is unmistakably human.

And we keep raising the cost

We're adding more over time. Each new layer makes faking a human here cost a little more. We'd rather build them honestly than pretend they're all finished on day one.

Your face or fingerprint. Nothing to phish.

Quiet device checks

Turn away emulators and bot farms at the door.

Then it's just people.

Once you're in, be whoever you want. Pick your username, your avatar, your voice. We already know you're a real, unique human, so the public only ever sees the identity you choose.

We use AI to keep AI out, never to author a person, a post, or a face. Assist, don't author. That's the whole point.

We don't claim a fortress.
We claim something better.

We'll never tell you it's impossible to fake an account. Anyone who promises that is lying. Here's what we promise instead: faking a human here costs real effort and a real identity, and when someone tries, we catch it in the open and pull it down fast.

Think you can? Good. We'd rather you try here, out loud, than pretend the problem doesn't exist. That's how the real-human internet actually gets built. By people, in public.

A quick note on ID. A government-ID check is optional, an extra "gold" badge for people who want maximum trust. It's never required to join.

A feed that's finally just people.

No bots in your replies. No AI slop in your timeline. Request an invite and come see.
