Thank you for the suggestion. Can you please elaborate 'allow the user to reveal his identity case by case.' Through an example. It will help me a lot.

On 4chan, you can sign posts with a name and password you choose and it will show a hash of the password beside the name. This hash can be useful to prove the same identity (or an easy password) across multiple posts.

Thank you so much.

Easily offer an export of your own data and simple deletion method that truly does remove any trace of you ever using the social network. This includes all messages sent, comments made, events created, posts liked, etc. Yes, this means handling "What if two people had a conversation or it's a group conversation with multiple people? What happens to those messages?" I say for sure delete the message all across the boa…

I was thinking about the same last night.

What business model would you use?

Currently no business model is my aim. I'm fed up with twitter and Facebook, want to create an engaging community based on individual's interest.

Good luck.

Identity, I want to be sure when I read something by startupflix is really being written by startupflix. And I want that everybody that reads my stuff knows when is the real me posting stuff and not a random pretending is me. This is the most important feature both Facebook and Twitter got right, mainly because they are the source of truth on what gets posted on their platforms.

An honest timeline feed. Not this "curated" mumbo jumbo. I don't like the notion that I can be manipulated, by the social network itself, or 3rd party advertisers.

Keeps ads out of the feed, and populate the front page as content comes in. Some days it will be boring, sometimes I may not like what I see, but hey that's life.

The ability to describe my interests and personality in as much detail as I choose and it will match me up with like minded individuals anywhere in the world, but preferably in my own country/culture. It should help me find TRUE friends, not just people who I've happen to run into within my local sphere of influence.

So completely free with no ads?
