Glad this resonates with you! That’s exactly the goal—keeping the useful parts of social networking while removing the noise and AI-driven manipulation.

> How do you envision onboarding? Do I join, and then try to convince a handful of people to join as well?

Yes, that's been the idea so far for onboarding. But we’re also exploring ways to make the platform more organically discoverable and valuable from day one (without AI).

In my case, it's been easy to convince my network to move and I found they shared a similar level of dismay towards traditional networks.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on the onboarding process

I wish I had suggestions! The daunting nature of the onboarding is what cooled my jets in the first place, and I never got part the ideation phase with this particular project.

The need is there (at least for some of us!) so the sell shouldn't be so hard, but I feel like I'm missing the "a-ha!" differentiator here. It's not enough to pull the good/useful remnants from the sludge socials are today; it would need an extra something to excite people enough to make the effort to engage with yet another online service.
