Social media funded by users, not advertisers. No ads, no algorithmic manipulation. $2/month gets you a platform where you control your feed and your data stays private. Simple premise: make users the customers, not the product. We think people are ready to pay for authentic social networking. Live now. Try it out and let us know what you think.

  We’re building a real-time social service where users who have $50 and developers who have $100 come and get to tell people that they have $50 or $100, respectively. For the “I have $50” member tier, you get a full year of telling people you have $50. For $100, you get the developer tier, which comes with a widget to embed on your blog that tells people you have $50.

Misleading title as it's definitely not the first subscription based Social Network.

And yet there is no actual policy posted.

The whole intro is so BS that I won't spend a minute to read and destroy it (GDPR FTW). I will let them burn themselves. And if they ever start becoming big/dangerous they will feel the wrath of 1) a "GDPR nightmare letter" and later 2) the EU DPS.
