Fyreplace is a simple social media app that puts the focus on connecting with other people from around the world. What you see in your feed is random, with no special algorithm or AI to manipulate it, and without any sponsored posts turning your feed into a list of ads. This means posts that get upvoted more don't completely overshadow the rest, so everyone has a chance to express themselves. It's also private. Your personal data is not collected and sold out for profit. And if you don't like this app, you can delete your account and all associated data in a matter of seconds; no 2-weeks delay, no email to send.
