I agree that it needs to be different, but simply stating that it's different isn't going to draw me into paying attention. It needs to be familiar enough that someone will start using it, but different enough to ease a pain, or provide something new.
This claims to do so, but with nothing else to go on, why should I believe it? I don't generally use "Social Media" anyway, and without know how this achieves its purported differentiator, I'm not going to invest the time. I read the blurb ... it's social media, but because of the mental health issues we are going to encourage you to log out, and not try to keep you engaged all the time.
An audience needs to be drawn in. An audience needs to be retained. An audience needs to be grown, and without other people, it's not "Social".
These are, of course, random opinions from a random person on the internet.
This is a hard problem, I know, and I'd be delighted to see something different. But my time is limited, and just saying that it's solved what it thinks is a problem isn't gong to make me take the time to try it. It needs "social validation" ... it needs people who have tried it and who are from "my tribe" to tell me to come join them. Or it needs examples of things I want to see.
As I say ... random opinions from a random person, but I'm genuinely trying to offer things to think about, work on, and possibly will help.

To me, the problem with it is that it is just like every other new social media site. No network of people who know each other. That probably means building a site that doesn’t require it.
