Weave vs Ctrl+Shift+3

Weave is where the people around you become people who actually know you. Most communities stay on the surface. You see each other every week, but the conversations never get past the small talk. Weave is built so honest conversation can actually happen - and honesty is what turns acquaintances into real friends. HONESTY FIRST. IDENTITY WHEN YOU'RE READY. On Weave, what you say comes before who you are. You take part in conversations with your name kept private, so your ideas are heard on their own merits. As people come to respect how you think, trust builds between you - and you decide when to share your real name, and with whom. Never by default. Always your call. HOW IT WORKS - Join a conversation and start talking, with your name private to begin. - Trust builds between specific people through honest conversation. - Real names are shared by mutual consent, never automatically. - Acquaintances become real friends, at your pace. BUILT FOR REAL COMMUNITIES Weave is for groups of 25 or more - congregations, parent communities, professional groups, cohorts, and more. Leaders set up their group; members join and start having the conversations that don't happen anywhere else. A CALMER KIND OF PLACE No public audience to perform for. No pile-ons. No algorithm rewarding outrage. Just real conversation with the people who matter - the kind that compounds into real connection over time. Less rage bait. More hanging out. Keep the people. Lose the noise.

Ctrl+Shift+3 was created because social media got out of hand. A clear sign is the fact that countries are passing laws preventing certain age groups from using social media. This tells you it's as risky as smoking or drinking alcohol. We offer a calmer, more sane space to share thoughts and links. No likes, follows, or other vanity counts. Features: - A shared chronological stream of public posts. Newest first. No algorithmic "For You" by default. - An optional wave button. Turn it on to see posts with a lot of comments first, with newer posts favored so old ones do not stay stuck on top (plus light randomization). Turn it off to return to newest-first. - Subscribe to people from their profile (privately... no follower counts). Your Subs feed shows their main-feed posts in chronological order. - A public page for each account: bio, posts, optional wall posts from others, and RSS. You control whether visitors can write on your profile. - Flat comments under a post... readable conversation without nested threads competing for attention. - Connect related posts when the community agrees the link makes sense. Ideas can point to each other over time. - Private groups called Clicks (aka cliques) for friends, family, or a shared topic. Membership is required to enter. Signed-in people can browse the directory and request to join; moderators decide. - Mention someone to get their attention. Pings collect mentions, comment notices, Click invites, and join-request notices in one place. You can optionally receive a daily email digest of unread pings (review your settings). - Block haters. A one-way way to stop seeing someone’s posts and comments, and to limit how they interact with you. - Polls: On the Feed, in a Click, or on a profile wall, use the poll toggle next to the compose label to post a timed poll instead of a plain thought. - Art: Art opens a 40×40 text "paint" grid. - Swipe right to open the chatroom. If it's not available you'll see a schedule showing the next date/time that it will open. - Old posts with 3 or less comments might get bubbled back up for a second chance at some love. - Transparent moderation with logged actions and reasons. Platform and Click moderators can keep spaces usable without silent black-box systems. - Your data: Delete your account and your writing is replaced with placeholders.
