Let us begin! Imagine turns strangers into friends, uncertainties into strengths and everyday life into entertainment! Be sustainable online and work with your fellow human beings to make a change: This new social network unites the familiar and the new and creates a pleasant atmosphere for every user. Share your thoughts, experiences and entertainment in different ways with your fellow men. "Fellow human beings" are not only friends and colleagues, but everyone who speaks your language. You will notice how many new things you discover, how many interesting people you meet and how much you can learn for your everyday life. You open the app and you are right in the middle of it instead of waiting for your friends to arrive. We are sustainable because we treat each other respectfully, don't leave users with wrong ideas and block populist and false statements. We have no room for hate and the spreading of negative moods and we take care of its prevention through internal functions. For open communication, the topic area allows users to explore interesting hobbies and current events and adapt them individually. Furthermore, you can deal with facts and assumptions on different levels. Every user can add or question arguments, counter-arguments and sources. You can give your posts additional information or credibility by linking to a suitable topic. Sharing with strangers is often helpful and interesting, but can also be very difficult. If your post contains personal information or is uncomfortable for you, you can also post anonymously. We want to be entertained at Imagine, but we also want to share our weaknesses and difficulties. Our ideals are not a temporary mood of the founders, which are discarded with the first investor. All decisions about the future of Imagine, as well as the internal reporting and blocking procedures, are decided by the users. Each member is a part of Imagine and can decide for themselves how large this part should be. Have a look around and let Imagine convince you. We are looking forward to seeing you!
