About
Ctrl+Shift+3 was created because social media got out of hand. A clear sign is the fact that countries are passing laws preventing certain age groups from using social media. This tells you it's as risky as smoking or drinking alcohol. We offer a calmer, more sane space to share thoughts and links. No likes, follows, or other vanity counts. Features:
- A shared chronological stream of public posts. Newest first. No algorithmic "For You" by default.
- An optional button beside a feed title. Turn it on to see posts with a lot of comments first, with newer posts favored so old ones do not stay stuck on top (plus light randomization). Turn it off to return to newest-first.
- Subscribe to people from their profile (privately... no follower counts). Your Subs feed shows their main-feed posts in chronological order. No subscribe notifications for now.
- A public page for each account: bio, posts, optional wall posts from others, and RSS. You control whether visitors can write on your profile.
- Flat comments under a post... readable conversation without nested threads competing for attention.
- Connect related posts when the community agrees the link makes sense. Ideas can point to each other over time.
- Private groups (cliques) for friends, family, or a shared topic. Membership is required to enter. Signed-in people can browse the directory and request to join; moderators decide.
- Mention someone to get their attention. Pings collect mentions, Click invites, and join-request notices in one place. You can optionally receive a daily email digest of unread pings.
- Block haters. A one-way way to stop seeing someone’s posts and comments, and to limit how they interact with you.
- Polls: On the Feed, in a Click, or on a profile wall, use the poll toggle next to the compose label to post a timed poll instead of a plain thought.
- Art: Art opens a 40×40 text "paint" grid.
- Transparent moderation with logged actions and reasons. Platform and Click moderators can keep spaces usable without silent black-box systems.
- Your data: Delete your account and your writing is replaced with placeholders.
