> hello is the first social network built on loves, not likes.
I'm sorry, but this sounds like a joke to me. Loves instead of likes? Is this the first thing you want to say about your born again social network.
> I designed hello to help you connect with people who share your passions.
Sound very much like the “Facebook has always been about helping people make connections” mantra.
So, I guess it's Facebook with loves and mobile app only... Say what you want about Mastodon, but at least it's a real alternative.
- emblaegh 9y agoI thought the same, but the portuguese version of the text offer a different view: > hello is the first social network build on profound friendships instead of 'likes'. So maybe it is a social network whose focus is people you really know well instead of companies and random people? I dunno, it's still very vague.

- arcticfox 9y agoI checked and you're right. For launching an entire product, they're really dropping the ball in the first sentence. I read the English to imply that the network is based on your "loves" (passions, hobbies, goals) but the Portuguese makes it pretty obvious that's not right at all. I have a hard time interpreting the English in any way that matches the Portuguese version.
- cuchoi 9y agoThe idea of the platform is to connect you based on interests. Do you love hiking? They will connect you with hikers.
