Good idea. I think there’s a lot of room for some kind of internet social network that gives you a space for a custom profile, chatting with friends about anything, no algorithms dictating what you see, no heavy handed moderation, etc. wish you success

I agree. Today, that's a2b2.org. it used to be makeoutclub.com

I really hope this takes off! A human curated/self exploring site is a dream. I miss the myspace days when you could search by location, genre, and sort the data in various ways. I discovered so much music on my own, it was always an exciting adventure.

I live and breathe on the internet and have never been moderated once, even freely expressing myself, insulting people who deserve it, etc. My point here is that if you think the current social media options have "heavy handed" moderation, you're probably the problem, not them.

That just means your views are not very controversial (most people’s aren’t).

The argument you’re making is just a different face of the “I have nothing to hide” in the privacy debates.

Thank you so much for making this. I hated how sterile Facebook was when it finally took over. Are these pages going to index in google? I used to find lots of "friends" by searching site:myspace.com female statename interestname

I did this too. God, dating online used to be so much fun!

We have more than enough of places like that, there's no need to create (n+1)th. They all have the same problem - lack of adoption, so the network effect is working against them.

Super cool! Are you considering federation a la ActivityPub et al? Just thinking of a way for you to really stunt with what MySpace could have been that Facebook or Twitter would never do.

And even if federation is too big of a feature, maybe using the ActivityStreams format for user interactions could be beneficial.
