I hate to say this, but it's either a terrible landing page or terrible product I'm seeing here.
I totally admire the effort to bring back Orkut, but I don't see any value proposition that makes me want to try this out other than some philosophical words that anyone can say.
In fact, I have never seen a product introduced in these philosophical ways succeed. The only signal I get from this is that the creator is naive (No offense, I'm sure the creator is insightful as he's the one who created one of the earliest social networks in the world, but just saying that's not what the copy on the website is signaling).
If you believe in "love, not likes", I would like to see HOW you implemented it. Otherwise there are tons of social networks out there each with its own twist in "connecting with people with similar interests".
Maybe there's more to the product than what the website says, and if that's the case, you should show that instead.

- HenryBemis 9y agoThe creator is not naive, but he/she/they are aiming to capture naive people.
