Painful
The process of signing up to start using the app fully is a pain, I love the concept of keeping bots out, but if I have to jump any hoops I’m out, I don’t use corporate email for social media and not many people do, I’m not a student, I’m a guy that uses Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail congruently your now alienating people that way too

A place for us Canucks to keep real and keep classy while connecting. Love it.
Danger, Do not download
Unusual data collection for a social platform. Requires government ID scan, facial biometric (selfie), and institutional email. Not necessary to verify account legitimacy. Heavy integration with Canada Post’s Identity+ system. Ask yourself why a social media app needs facial recognition data tied to your government ID and work/school email. Privacy-conscious users should consider alternatives.
Books say private start up, but pattern says either explicit government backing (unlikely to be public) or very coordinated institutional alignment/regulatory capture dressed up as indie startup.
This not a social media app it’s a honeypot made to look like one and it is about profiling you, identifying you and monetizing your data.

Not ready
I wanted to like it, but it’s not ready. The app doesn’t display properly on my phone. Things are cut off on the left and right. Perhaps it’s the text size I’ve chosen on my phone. I couldn’t find a way to make posts private. From Home, I would want to see posts from people in my Nest, not strangers. My advice is to focus on “within nest” sharing of posts. I don’t need to see things from strangers, nor do I need yet another chat.

Social Media for People, not Bots.
Been excited for a competitor that took data privacy seriously and all the other predatory functionality of modern social media. Gander is making a real effort to do that and give us social media that is real, safe, and human focused. Sick of everything being a bot and never feeling a real connection half the time. Highly recommend jumping on board and supporting a good company at its beginnings!
