In 2021, I decided to pause work on socii to develop plumbing for a next-generation internet powered by blockchain…it was fun but it didn't work out.
In the time since, Twitter got acquired by a weirdo, which made Mastodon and Bluesky popular. Facebook tried to make fetch happen. Crypto people use Nostr and Farcaster. Everyone else uses Slack and Discord when they aren't forced to use Teams.
No one's built the social network I want to use.
I'm tired of: bots, gaslighting, sealioning, "well achktually" weirdos, trolls, doomscrolling, being manipulated by unseen forces, toxicity, &c. Are you tired of this as well? Maybe you're interesting in paying for a product instead of being said product?
socii was to launch Q1 2025 but social media is pretty much a solved problem right now (Mastodon is pretty good, and Bluesky isn't bad). My apologies if you really wanted a fully custom social network from me.
In the meantime, see what I'm currently working on.
