Idea 06 · The Chill Network, a working name
Keep in touch. Lose the feed. A network that rewards you for putting your phone down, and is safe for everyone on it.
The reverse streak. Points build while the phone lies face down; try picking it up.
Social media keeps you in touch, at the cost of your attention and your mood.
Influencers, doomscrolling and engagement bait are the product, not a side effect.
Quitting entirely means losing people, which is why nobody quits.
The network runs on summaries, not status updates.
Come back to a reward, not a backlog of noise.
Popularity is unknowable, so posting is pressure-free.
Including a professional brand study that landed on "the anti-social app for sociable people".
Bullying and toxicity are actively fought, there are no like counts to chase, and nothing to perform against.
Batched digests, no per-person spotlight, no visible like counts, brain settings for ADHD and OCD, and support available 24/7.
Advertised on the incumbent platforms, the way cessation services advertise.
Older generations with the history to want out of the feed, and mature enough to set the example. European by design.
Payments and subscriptions, never data. No analytics sold, no ads that track.
No, it is a social network with the incentives reversed.
Scarcity makes posts matter and removes the performance treadmill.
Yes, and for everyone. Bullying and toxicity are actively fought, the design never hooks, and there is nothing to perform against, so under-16s and everyone else can use it without the usual harm.
An offer of help, advertised where the habit lives.
