Quipist

Both fb and g+ control what you see via algorithms. You do not have the ability to see EVERYTHING even if you wanted to. You would have to click on every single person's profile independently to see everything. There is no way to turn off that "feature".

We have no algorithm, and instead have filtering tools that allow you to control what you see.

We do not assume ownership of the things you post. It is your space, and your community you are building.

We are building a system that will simultaneously allow someone to have their identity verified, while also having the choice to hide it from the rest of the world. We want people know that they are safe, and that if they block someone who is causing issues that it is possible to assure that this person cannot sneak their way back into your feed.

We are doing all of this while setting up a social media that will generate revenue for the Causes people choose. We do not necessarily need to take away from Facebook. If someone prefers fb and doesn't want to use Quipist, that is their choice. If someone wants to use Quipist, and help build a community of change, then that is their choice too:) We want the people that want to be with us:)

It depends upon what you hate about social media.... As one of the founders I can tell you my focus has been to create a social media site that does not do what I hate about other social media. I want to have control over things that other sites want to take away; to retain ownership of things that I have created and post; to be able to control what I see of my friend's posts.

It is also important to me that people cannot pose as someone they are not, while simultaneously being able to protect their own identity.

We are talking to people about what they hate about other social media, and we are trying to make something better. If you want to tell us what you have hated, and wish were different, we want that information:)

If you have had any trouble with the link, I would love to hear about it. We are in open-beta, and so we haven't caught every bug, but this is the first I have heard of anyone having trouble with the login link. It would be really helpful if you could tell us what difficulties you had:)

yup: * no algorithms controlling what you see * ability to create yourself as safe of a space as you wish * retain ownership of your stuff *earn points that will tell us how much money to donate to your favorite causes. :)

I suppose it depends upon what someone considers to be "social media" :p I know lots of people who loath reddit, but love pinterest, and lots of people who hate fb, but love reddit... Which is why I said it is important to consider what someone hates about it:) If they love the interaction on reddit, but hate that they have to create posts on fb, then Quipist won't solve the second half of that problem, for them. We do want a more interactive communication that feels productive on fb. The interactions on reddit seem to be more in-depth in alot of ways, so hopefully we can create that level of interaction within Quipist:)
