LikeFolk is an AI-guarded, hyperlocal social network with a reach you control — Very Close, Nearby, or All (public, like Twitter). How it works: Reach, Priced by Distance Post, share a Flash Story, or send a Flash Note - each time, choose proximity - Very Close, Nearby, or All (public to everyone). You pay only for the reach you choose. AI-Guarded, Not Just Moderated Every comment, photo, and video is screened by AI before it's posted - not flagged after. No hate replies, no body shaming, no trolling. Flash Story & Flash Note A 24-hour Flash Story, or an instant Flash Note alert to people nearby - priced and reached the same way: by distance, not by chance. Location, Your Choice Stay in Very Close / Nearby by default - no exact location ever shown.
