I try not to be too preachy about where I work these days, but in light of all the B.S. Zuck dropped yesterday wanted to pitch Retro as a possible alt for people looking for a non-Meta owned personal social network. https://retro.app Elevator pitch: we're like Instagram ~10 years ago. No ads, no algorithm, no influences, just friends. Worth consideration!

@timonus but how long until investors force those things to change for the worse?

Honest question. Not being an asshole.

How will you avoid the same predatory business model that every social media company eventually ends up adopting?
