launching something on ios only? in this day and age? y’all know places outside the us exist, right?
Gen z bullies themselves to only use iPhone, or so I’ve heard. Comply or be left out of every group chat
That’s only true for US.
Good to hear!
Not in Europe. Everyone just uses WhatsApp, even with an iPhone.
Gen Z most assuredly doesn’t.

thanks i hate it here
It’s potentially worse, because before you may have had an algorithm that a human could fine tune or whistleblow on. Now if it is trained on large datasets, the resulting algorithm is usually a blackbox weight matrix, they probably have no idea what pattern it is optimizing :S
Nearly every social media has used Machine Learning to create personalised since a very long time, it was just not marketed as AI…
Yea, by “before” I guess I meant before 2013…which leaves more “after” than “before” for social media 😅 .
So disruptive!
Something’s weird with this; I have heard absolutely nothing about this. Surely this is botted? Social media platforms don’t take off like this. Regardless of if its legit or not; who is funding this? No social media platform ever makes a profit.
Pretty sure they ran a shitload of ads on tiktok using vc money before the app even released.
IOS only of course. Pack it up, nothing to see here. This is another clubhouse.
Do people who don’t have to buy their own hardware yet even use Android?
Absolutely. Android devices are dirt cheap, and ubiquitous in most of the world. It’s an obvious choice for many based on that alone. There’s also lots of families that aren’t in Apple’s ecosystem.
noplace had already gone viral ahead of its public launch because of its feature that allows users to express themselves by customizing the colors of their profile.
Reads like a book about the future
Wow this really is idiocracy
Wait until these people hear about geocities.
It’s a full loop
Or SpaceHey.
Gives me friendface vibes.
Gotta love how all the images in this article are straight from the noplace media kit (link to google docs in footer).
I presume this is botted but this is another thing that makes me want a more modern federated MySpace.
You don’t need to share everything about you all the time. There is nuance in privacy and intimacy between close friends and family.
Until we realize that, we will continue to learn this lesson over and over until it sinks in.
These are the steps we must climb.
You can have social media and still have a private life? Just don’t share everything on social media.
Wasn’t saying you shouldn’t have any
Outlined the current challenges we face, because the majority of people have not learned how to deal with it. Mostly because of difficult life circumstances and several addictive and mainstream implementations
we? i am fairly sure most people know how to use social media without being consumed by it.
Not everyone that uses social media is making a mistake.
Data brokers and people with experience with helping those affected by identity theft and cyberstalking will tell you otherwise.
Last, never said anything like that. You’ve completely misinterpreted and put in assumptions to my claim that there are problems and difficulties that many, if not most, still face regarding specific implementations of social media. That is, not social media purely as a technology or a concept, but as specific use cases, I.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (TikTok may be a stretch for social media in regards to traditional examples, but many still use it as such)
Noplace in my life…👎🏼
I hope someday we can have Friendster 2.0
Daaang…i really miss that placeRemember Livejournal?
Or deadjournal? If livejournal was too mainstream, but you still had to get your emo thoughts on the internet
Deadjournal was (is?) such an excellent niche corner of the internet. I remember being young and having trouble connecting the site, totally my fault, but I sent them an email and the admins Cryo and SCSi personally helped me get it figured out. In hindsight I couldn’t imagine another platform taking the time.
It may not be super active, but Insanejournal is still a thing.
the App Store description and screenshots have a very heavy fellow kids vibe.
