About new social networks, I am building one that I am calling "a quiet social network".
Copy/pasting from my landing what it means:
A personal journal and a social network that will provide a quiet space to reflect about yourself and also to nurture your long term relationships with the people that you care about.
Why “quiet”?
Because this social network won't have the frenetic rhythm of news and updates of all other social networks.
A quiet space is just as quiet as the quietest sound. Quid Sentio is being designed so you will only listen to your voice and the voice of your close ones. A digital space to cultivate conversations more meaningful than the loud noise of social media and more long-lasting than the unsearchable small talk of instant messengers.
Quid Sentio is for you if you want to...
Avoid the deafening rumble of the crowds. You will only see public entries from people that have both being included in your list and included you in their list. No stranges following you (or even knowing you have an account).
Avoid the tiresome grumble of the acquaintances. There will be no way to search for people on the site or to see a list of your friends' friends. Also, there will be a limit of people you can add to your list without reciprocity, so no way to spam everyone in your contact list.
Avoid the popularity contests of perfect lives. There will be no way to like entries, only conversations. Also, there will be no way to share content outside of the list of who posted. So no way to go viral and no instant rewards.
Avoid the manipulative tricks of addiction dealers. All the design decisions above already point to a social network with less activity. Adding to that, you won't see any advertising on the site, so there is no incentive to keep you aimless wandering around here. Stay as long as you need to connect with your family, your close friends, and yourself. Then leave.
Avoid the news, the memes, the FOMO. As the posts all follow the same design of journal entries, with no images and no special treatment for external links, you will probably won't see much news or click-baity articles, unless a close friend wants to comment on them. Also, no company accounts either.

- dehugger 7y agoYour web site isn't loading at all for me. Glancing at the console it looks like you have a timeout error, and the loading gif just runs forever. Chrome Version 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)
- soneca 7y agoThanks! If it is the same bug that I experienced, if you refresh the page it will probably work. I am a 3-week vacation right now, away from my development laptop, but I will investigate this bug better and solve it once I'm back
