Show HN: Hello, World – Introducing Soj.ooO

2 points by rasengan 4 months ago | 3 comments
My partner Matt and I have been working on soj.ooO. It has only been up for a few weeks and has gained a lot of traction.

Our goal was to fight the memory hole to ensure that algorithms do not control human discussions (eg auto decay on other sites) and generally bring natural law back into the discussion and relevance equation.

Hope you like it!

    The content is hidden if you have JS disabled. I'm not asking for a fully functional site, but maybe show the comments of the current page in read-only mode.

    Your pojangmacha thing explanation is way too complicated. Just say that it's a mix between Twitter and a forum.

    Not allowed: Illegal content. That's broad, we don't even know where you are.

    No nudity: there are platforms where it's allowed (BlueSky) and it works fine. But it's your choice.

    "How is my data protected": you actually don't answer this question at all.

    You can't delete or edit your post? That's a bug don't you think?

    As for the main page, you should reconsider your stance on free speech for that specific part of the site since we have a mix of crazy people from p/islam, and crazy MAGA on p/freethinkers. It's not a good advertisement for your site.

      You edited your comment lol so I’m coming back to answer the new parts:

      > As for the main page, you should reconsider your stance on free speech for that specific part of the site since we have a mix of crazy people from p/islam, and crazy MAGA on p/freethinkers. It's not a good advertisement for your site.

      We wanted to be sure not to take an opinion on the content - only the form of the technology - so we aren’t touching the All feed.

        Regarding JS - we are aiming for the modern device user. I understand that security is a thing, but in 2025, few sites work without JS.

        Most other questions are simply because we made highly opinionated choices.

        In terms of edit and delete — so many people take advantage of edits and deletions which isn’t natural. You can’t do that in real life.

        As for legal and illegal - if it’s legal in the US it is legal here!

        Great questions sir!
