AceSpace vs Ctrl+Shift+3

Most social apps assume everyone wants the same things. AceSpace doesn't. AceSpace is a community built for asexual and aromantic spectrum people: a feed, a discover deck, and private messaging, designed around the idea that connection doesn't have to start with attraction. Some members are here for friends, some are looking for a partner, and plenty just want to be around people who get it. You never have to explain yourself before you can belong. > Free where it matters Messaging, seeing who liked you, and taking part in the community are free, and the whole app is built on that. No paywall between you and a reply. No blurred-out list of people who were interested in you. > What's inside • A community feed with threaded comments, so conversations stay easy to follow • Discover: browse member cards and Like or Pass, with no games and no countdowns • Filters that fit how ace people actually connect, including romantic orientation and desire levels • Realtime private messaging, with control over exactly who can reach you • Profiles with real room to be a person: story sections, interests, badges and custom display name colors • A Preview button that shows your profile exactly as other members see it • An active Discord community where members and the people building the app are in the same room > Your comfort comes first Moderation is taken seriously here. Sensitive content stays blurred until you choose to reveal it. Your messaging rules are enforced on our servers, not just in the interface. Blocking and reporting are one tap away, and every report is reviewed by a human. > Support us for more flair AceSpace Premium is an optional subscription supports the platform and unlocks extras: colorful display names, profile themes, advanced discover filters, more photos and profile sections, a Supporter badge, and lighter anti-spam and low-quality-content limits (higher daily caps on likes, posts, and new conversations). What it never buys is access to other members. Messaging, seeing who liked you, viewing profiles, and the community stay free for everyone. > Made with care AceSpace is built and run by a small team. The best place to reach us, or just to hang about with other members, is the AceSpace Discord, or contact us through the app.

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.
