I personally love low-security social networks. I consider HN to qualify (as you just need a username and password, no email verification). Small social networks can get away with it b/c they aren't big enough targets for abusers.

Your comment makes me wonder...what is HN's spam volume? I never see any.

I read the /new queue a lot and flag a lot of spam. There’s probably dozens of us.

how to monetize?

lol somehow I hope you forgot the sarcasm

I was just wondering if Daft Social was going to sustain itself through user monetization (sales, ads, donations, etc), it's totally cool if its based on some other mechanism. Just curious.

I'm not sure I fully agree with the "simplification and reduction" premise if the only way I can get an image onto Daft Social is if I host it elsewhere first.

So if I'm reading this right, I would snap a photo on my phone, host the image somewhere, then send the URL to that image in an email. That doesn't sound overly simple.
