I love the concept. Like BeReal this one is a novel concept that tries to avoid the downsides of many social apps. It focuses on quality of relationships not „lots of friends“. It is inspiring. It does not entice to spend too much time with psychologically addictive methods.
The downside: The business model seems set to share and sell user data, personal profiles of high value. At least that is what I figured from their „privacy“policy, which sounds all nice but really gives the company the right to collect and use almost any sort of data, those shared and those gathered behind the scenes. Data collection is opt-out, i. e. it is on by default, and not all collection can be opted out.
Maybe this is how the business works these days.
But I wish it were not so.
I wish all communication were E2E-encrypted including one’s social graph / network, like in modern privacy aware messengers, e. g. Signal. Monetization could happen a) via ads only based on voluntarily given preferences and b) an add-free subscription version.
