Pieces: Social Network for People

domo__knows

Hey HN, long time lurker first time poster. I built a social network called PIECES. After building a private blog last year after I had to get off IG and Substack, I decided to productize it. It's here now. It has a dedicated web experience + iOS/Android. Would love if you tried it out!

Do you have some sort of detection for 'faceless accounts' ? Or are you moderating that by hand? I like the idea, but how do you actually enforce the 'no bots' model?

I’ve seen a few posts about a “better social network” tried a few even thought about making my own. It seems hard to get them off the ground. I wonder if the answer to the enshittification of social networks is “no social network at all”.

Is this site inclusive of nonhuman identities? [0] It seems incredibly focused on "real humans" etc, which is (common...), but my real identity doesn't exist in the physical world. (There are also multiple of them thanks to DID, but that tends to require a significant rearchitecture to accommodate) [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherkin

Do you have any plans to support Ultra HDR images, on the Android app and/or other platforms? I did some browsing of the site and didn't see any examples (but that doesn't mean it's unsupported). I really enjoy that aspect for sharing photography on Instagram, and the support (at the client level, at least) is fairly straightforward (see https://developer.android.com/media/grow/ultra-hdr/display ). The idea of the platform does sound great, and the application seems very polished from what I can tell so far.
