FAQ.

So how do you make money?

We don’t—at least not in the traditional way.
No ads. No data deals.
We depend on donations to stay independent and we sell silly t-shirts to get startet. That's it!

If this works, it works because people want it to exist, not because we exploit them.

Wait what? You sell t-shirts? That sounds pathetic and hypocritical!

We need funding and we want to attack the big companies with our provocative merch.

So back to topic... This sounds unrealistic. Is it?

Yes.
Competing with billion-dollar companies without using their tactics is hard.
But “realistic” is also how we got the current mess.

So we will try everything to make this work!

Why should I trust you?

You shouldn’t. Trust yourself above all else.
Trust is how users get exploited.
We’d rather make things transparent and open so you don’t have to rely on promises.

Will you eventually add ads anyway?

If we do, we’ve failed.
Simple as that.

So no. There will never be ads.

What data do you collect?

The bare minimum needed to make the app work.
No creepy tracking, no shadow profiles, no “we collect this to improve your experience” nonsense.

Your data can be deleted completely, without a trace. No problem—you are always in control.

Will there be an addictive algorithm?

No.
We’re not here to hijack your attention.
If anything, we’d rather you close the app and go live your life.

Is this going to replace Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Tinder, etc.?

That’s the ambition—but let’s be real: not anytime soon.
We’re building something better, not something faster.

What’s the catch?

No catch—just trade-offs:

Slower development
Fewer features at the start
No massive funding safety net

Freedom comes with friction.

What if this fails?

Then it fails honestly.
Not because we sold out—but because we tried something different and it didn’t work.

Why should I care?

You probably shouldn’t—unless you’re tired of being the product.

How can I help?

Use it. Break it. Question it.
And if you believe in it, support it.

Donate—or contribute your skills to help build it.
