At "We the friends", we aim to restore the true essence of social platforms - friendship. Get rid of the vanity metrics that get exploited to clutter our feed with constant distractions, bombardment of propaganda, divisive and harmful content. Rid the friendship experience of algorithms that pretend to know us, what friend is important to us and which post is worthy of our attention. Build a platform where there are no leaders, no subordinates, no celebrities, no fans, no influencers and no follower - just friends! Create a sanctuary for friendship where all friends are equal, all posts are important, every baby is cute and all puppies are adorable!
