Pieces: Social Network for People

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?

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)

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”.
