This is what social media needs to be
I joined the app in 2025. It is nothing like other social media apps. The app creators are an active part of the community, if you reach out to the support team a HUMAN responds quickly. The of lack of an algorithm makes engagement real. Users are protective of the positive energy on the app. The app was glitchy when I first joined, but support moved quickly to resolve the issues and they are on top of things when new issues arise. Support deals with community violations swiftly. There is a group for every interest, and if you can’t find a group that fits your interests you can create one. Spill is what social media was in the early years - no algorithm, real connections, good energy. I’m glad this kind of social media still exists and is growing.

A Safe Space
The last time I felt social media like this was on MySpace. As a Black and gay immigrant, it truly feels like a space where I feel protected and seen. It’s only missing one star because the format to upload images and videos has some limitations like every picture you upload locks into one ratio, which doesn’t work for every picture. Otherwise, I enjoy the groups, the dab, the games, and the prompts to engage with others with daily themes. Keep it up, folks! Y’all doing a great thing here.

Spill Is It!
There’s something about finding an app that feels like home: safe. That’s how Spill feels to me—a safe space, a community.
Spill is a safe space
As long as you come into this space with good intentions you’ll be well received. This is the best social media site for marginalized communities.
Love it!!
Love love love Spill.
@proven_miracle
Spill is the first social app in a while that doesn’t feel like a fight. The feed is visual, posting is simple, and the culture on here is actually the point, not an afterthought. I use it for captions, quotes, and building in public, and the replies feel more like conversation than performance. Spades, Tea Parties, and the smaller circles give it a cookout energy the big apps lost. Still growing, so your people might not all be here yet, but the ones who are show up. Worth the download if you want a timeline with some soul and positivity.

Solid app
Good information being put out on the app 💯💯💯 Solid
Forced updates
I don’t like apps that force updates to where you can’t use it without updates and little to no warning. I also hate the archaic taking a screenshot of an article since there are no preview when posting article links.
Poorly made
Besides the obvious issues of being an incredibly hateful app, it’s designed absolutely terribly. Horrible UI, endless screens leading to nowhere, immutable audio, lack of settings. Very poor user experience.
where is the diversity?
the app doesnt say anywhere about being intended for a specific ethnicity and yet there is no diversity at all.

It’s still home
I wouldn't say it's an echo chamber...
...I would say it's a call & response chamber. IYKYK.
Lots of positivity & support, esp in the small groups. Freakin love that.
The downsides are probably the same as they are for any other social media site that is specific to a group of people based on race. There are just some things said that should never be said, in any company. Fna. The mentality of some of our own seems to be 'the Chinese are sayin awful things on Weibo, the YTs are sayin awful things on Parler, let's just be awful in our own space.' I don't care who the world thinks you are, who YOU think you are matters more.✊🏿 Everyone wanna complain about things but no one since the King family has had the spine, discipline, or mental strength to make it so. BET doesn't speak for all of us the same way Good Morning America doesn't speak for all YT ppl; why then do we punish anyone who dares to be different? We aren't policed enough, we gotta self police in case anyone thinks about breakin the mold. Hfs. Who tf is allowed to critique the culture if not its own?
It's fine I guess. Like reddit, you can find the corners where you jive & thrive, but there are some awful things on the default/general pages.

Personalization
I can’t set a profile picture or background.
For The Culture
The safest and purest social platform for the culture!
Not worth it.
The app fundamentally is just twitter with new paint. That’s not an issue at all, the issue is it’s just dead. Nobody is using this probably because it’s centered around 1 specific minority which is just killing its appeal for everyone else. It’s effectively an echo chamber. No banter, no drama, no discourse. Literally nothing to miss out on. gg.

Not for everyone
The app is literally just afro American people. Nothing against them or the app but I discovered nothing on my topics. Its a black persons facebook.
A Free Thinkers App
I appreciate an app where I can freely express myself under the guidelines of fair use and opinion based content. It’s important that our first amendment right to speak freely not be taken lightly or for granted. I will highly recommend this app to anyone seeking a community of people who are only interested in learning, growing and sharing information that can possibly save someone’s life.

One of The best Social App Ever!
I love this app because I don’t have to worry about weird vibes and everybody is so down to earth and relatable. The CEOs are very cool and so nice to everyone.

Love seeing US 🖤
My social media home and refuge
Spill makes me feel seen and welcomed. It’s a place where I get to authentically share my voice and creativity. I’m tapped into the Groups on the app and I love interacting with whatever spills resonate with me. Come open-minded, be willing to share, and be real.
