Elsewhere. Social messaging. vs Surikata

SOCIAL MESSAGING - Elsewhere is a quieter social app built around the people you actually know. - No influencers, no algorithms, no numbers. Ever. - The way it was always meant to be. SIMPLE - Post text, photos, or video. That's it. - No filters to learn, no formats to figure out. Just share what's on your mind. - Designed to get out of your way. CHRONOLOGICAL - Your feed shows posts in the order they were shared. Newest first, always. - No ranking, no recommendations, no "for you." - What you see is what your friends posted, when they posted it. CONTACTS ONLY - Elsewhere connects you with the people already in your phone, not strangers. - Build a small circle of close friends instead of a follower count. - Your posts go to the people who actually know you. METRIC FREE - No like counts. No follower counts. No view counts. - Nothing to optimize, nothing to perform for. - Post because you want to share, not because you want a number to go up. PUBLIC REPLIES - Replies happen out in the open, like a real conversation. - See how your friends are talking to each other and jump in. - The good parts of group chats, without the group chat. That's the whole app. Welcome to Elsewhere. • • • Please note: Elsewhere is for sharing with people you trust. Anyone in your circle can screenshot or save what you post, so be mindful of what you share. For a full description of our privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy.

CREATE AND JOIN GUILDS Build your own communities, called Guilds. Each one has its own real-time IRC chat, members, and a custodian elected by the community. Public or private, the choice is yours. REAL-TIME IRC CHAT Every Guild includes a built-in IRC-style chat: fast, lightweight, and always active. Enjoy real conversations without the noise. WRITE AND SHARE Publish posts with a rich text editor. Add photos, create polls, and embed memes and GIFs. Express yourself your way. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 7 built-in themes: Paper, Dark, Ocean, Forest, Nord, Dracula, and Sunset, or create your own custom theme from scratch with full color control. STAY NOTIFIED Receive push notifications for likes, comments, replies, follows, and Guild activity. Decide exactly which notifications you want in your settings. PRIVACY FIRST Your email is encrypted. No tracking. No ads. No algorithm deciding what you see. Your feed stays chronological and transparent. PREMIUM OPTIONS Support the platform with optional Premium subscriptions that unlock extra features and customization options. Payments are handled securely through Stripe. BUILT INDEPENDENTLY Surikata is built by a small independent team that believes social platforms should serve their users, not advertisers.
