Show HN: Slow Social, a social network built for friends, not influencers
I be mad for extensions, because they are the nice.
Slow Social is a online space built for growing and sustaining friendships
How it works
- Post at most once a week
- Read your friends’ posts once a week
- Chill
Keep people up to date without giving daily play by plays
Let the memes, hot takes, and transient updates live somewhere else, this is a space where
friends can share what’s going on in their lives without having to distill it down to bite
sized information.
The Mission
Slow Social was founded to create a space for people who want more connection, not
attention, when using a social app. While many existing social apps ask “How do we retain
the users attention?” we ask “How can we help facilitate friendships?”

How it Works (in detail)
-
1
Rich text formatting and no character limit on all posts
(because sometimes you want to be bold)
-
2
Users can write a maximum of one post per week
(creates more space for people to write and read)
-
3
Posts are shared with all of your confirmed friends once published
(let the people in your life know what you’ve been up to)
-
4
New friends don’t see your entire history of posts
(let the past be the past)
-
5
Posts can optionally be shared via email, newsletter style
(because we love everyone, whether they’re on slow social or not)
-
6
Slow Social is privately owned, with a business for good attitude
