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

Nice is a simple, distraction-free client for Nice.Social, the social component of 10Centuries. Designed for people who enjoy thoughtful conversations, long-form writing, and genuine connections, Nice puts people first. There are no recommendation algorithms, no engagement tricks, and no endless stream of content competing for your attention. Follow the people you care about. Share updates, photos, and articles. Participate in conversations at your own pace. Because Nice.Social is built around community rather than growth-at-all-costs, access is available to existing 10Centuries members. If you already have a 10Centuries account, simply sign in and start exploring. Features: • Read and publish posts • Follow interesting people • Share photos and articles • Fast, lightweight timeline browsing • Dark mode support • Secure authentication using the iOS Keychain • Local caching for improved performance • No advertising • No tracking • No sale of personal data Your Privacy Nice communicates directly with the 10Centuries platform. Your data remains under your control and is never shared with third parties. Posts may be temporarily cached on your device to improve performance, and your session credentials are securely stored using Apple's Keychain technology. A Different Kind of Social Network Nice.Social is part of 10Centuries, an independent publishing platform based in Japan. Instead of optimising for engagement, Nice is designed to help people write, communicate, and stay connected without constant interruption. An existing 10Centuries account is required to use this application.
