Pools on Bonafide
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pools is not a social media app. Create private spaces for whatever you want to share. Photos, videos, links, thoughts, and more. You have different relationships with different people. Pools lets you keep them that way. Choose who to invite to each Pool and what to share with them. You can share more when you're not putting everything in front of everyone. When you bring family, friends, and coworkers into the same Pool, it doesn't make everyone visible to one another. Pools is built around your connections. In real life, all those people don't automatically know each other just because they know you. Pools doesn't assume they should online, either. Pools is the first app built on Bonafide, a new, open, decentralized and distributed protocol. Your account, data, and connections live in your own Bonafide Container. They belong to you, not Pools. Bonafide is designed so different apps can work together, a bit like email. Plus, each person owns their own data, not the apps, so you don't have to start over every time you want to try a different app. Terms of Service – https://pools.bonafide.technology/terms Privacy Policy – https://pools.bonafide.technology/terms#privacy-policy
