A comment on Orkut.com.

I recently created a social media platform as a hobby project: https://nyhyl.app.

The main selling points are no ads, no algorithms, no infinite scroll, and no tracking.

I don't have any expectations from it of course, but it is amazing that I am able to create this on my own in just a few weeks. Maybe years of experience plus a few weeks, but nonetheless, I find it amazing.

Just a little heads-up: the tech is the fun part. Moderation is eternal, relentless and categorically unfun, especially if your site is disconnected communities

I don't understand why this was downvoted. While I agree it's very unlike this gets any traction, I praise the creator for trying something different. +1
