SaidSo brings freedom and integrity back to posting on social media. Whether you’re looking to simply share your story, some thoughts and views, or you’re longing for a place to flex your natural rights to freedom of expression and free speech, SaidSo is the one-stop app for you. SaidSo allows you to securely upload and store your posts in a social media format that also serves as a personal post-repository: it’s a ‘time capsule’ where your voice will be archived on blockchain forever. SaidSo’s proprietary blockchain architecture guarantees that your posts will be tamper-proof, free from ever being removed, reported, or lost. No censorship. No shadow-banning. No bias. No suppression. Permanent. Immutable. Freedom. Publish posts freely and unhindered: • Share your SaidSo posts to any of your other social media accounts with ease. • No comment section! Keep the focus on your message by expressing yourself without fear of judgment or the distraction and derailment of unwelcome scrutiny or feedback. • Write up to 1,000 characters per post. • Add multiple photos and videos to posts. • Zero ads. No unwanted content suggestions. Guaranteed secure and protected social media experience: • Blockchain allows you to record and store what you said with the guarantee of it never being tampered with, deleted, or censored. • Biometric verification using Face ID or Touch ID eliminates fake accounts and bots, preventing anyone but you from accessing or manipulating your account. • Make your mark in permanent posts. Once you publish a post, it’s forever. • No edits or deletions: no take-backs means more, and full, accountability for fake and hate-speech. Limitless publishing, recording, storing, and restoring of what you said: • Did your post get taken down on another social media site? Simply restore it from the original post archived on SaidSo. • Prove you said it, when you said so. Each post is allocated a unique hash value that serves as evidence to validate each post and your voice. Stay updated and connected with your community: • Full autonomy and control of your homepage with absolutely no content suggestions or filtering: only see posts from those you follow. • Purely chronological display. No automated feed-ranking eliminates timeline confusion. • React to posts by upvoting the posts you like and downvoting the ones you don’t. (Note: SaidSo is currently invite only, which means you'll need to have an invite code, or be invited by someone who already has an account to be able to create an account and use SaidSo.)

PIECES is an algorithm-free social network. It takes every way you already share — blogs, photo albums, short thoughts, videos, daily updates — and brings them onto a single profile. ALL THE WAYS YOU SHARE Five formats live on every profile: • Blog — long-form writing, like Substack • Galleries — photo collections, like Instagram • Bits — short thoughts, like a tweet • Videos — your own video content (coming soon) • Slices — ephemeral updates that disappear after a day (coming soon) BUILT FOR CREATIVES & FRIENDS For creatives: share without distraction. For friends: always see your friends' updates. PIECES is not for faceless content accounts. BOUND BY A PUBLIC SOCIAL CONTRACT The promises we make about how we'll treat you and your work are written down, versioned, and public — so you can hold us to them. See the full terms at https://pieces.is/social-contract. A sample below: 01. You follow them, you see them. Always. 02. Chronological feed, forever — because we all need a break from The Algorithm. 03. Export your data anytime, with an offline reader to revisit your memories. 04. A sane and transparent advertising policy, published publicly and versioned. Read the full contract at pieces.is/social-contract. NO CONTENT FARMS • Every account on PIECES represents a real person. • Faceless content pages — accounts that exist solely to aggregate or repost — are prohibited. • Content that is majority constructed by generative AI is strictly forbidden unless clearly indicated as such. CONTROL YOUR FEED Chronological, forever. Always available. Travel your feed like a time machine. Toggle comments and engagement metrics off per post or globally on your profile. NATIVE iOS APP. FULL WEB EXPERIENCE. Claim your handle by requesting an invite at pieces.is
