□Throw A quiet, text-only social network. No ads. No algorithms. No photos. Just words. Throw is a minimal social network built for people who want to write, read, and connect through text. If you feel tired of noisy social media, endless scrolling, and algorithm-driven feeds, Throw offers a different kind of space. A slower, quieter place where words matter again. □Why Throw is different Most social networks are built to maximize attention. Throw is built to protect words. Here you won’t find: • Ads competing for your attention • Algorithm-driven feeds • Viral content chasing impressions • Photo or video posts Instead, you’ll find a simple place where writing comes first. □A social network for writers and readers Throw is designed for people who enjoy expressing themselves through words. A single sentence can reach someone. A short thought can stay with someone. Sometimes a few words are enough. □No algorithm. You decide what to read. On Throw, nothing decides for you. There is no recommendation engine manipulating your feed. You choose: • what you read • who you follow • when you write Social media, without the manipulation. □A simple world of text Throw only allows text posts. No photos. No videos. No filters. This creates something rare on the internet today: space. Space between words. Space for thought. Space for quiet connection. □A calmer, safer environment Because Throw does not allow images or algorithmic feeds, it avoids many of the problems common on modern social media. No shocking thumbnails. No engagement traps. Just people sharing words. □A small subscription to keep it quiet Throw uses a small subscription (¥200/month). This helps keep the platform free from ads and attention-driven incentives. Even without subscribing, you can still write private posts visible only to yourself. Start by writing something just for you. □Who Throw is for Throw is for people who: • feel tired of modern social media • enjoy writing and reading words • want slower, calmer online spaces • want a safer environment for younger users □A quiet place for words Throw isn’t fast. It isn’t loud. It isn’t designed to go viral. But sometimes, a single line can reach someone. And that’s enough.
