What We Give a Fuck About

Interesting Content from Across the Web

• No communities, only hashtags
• You build your own homepage based on your interests

Birthdays

• You add friends via friend-code
• There's a little bit of friction, but it's worth it!
• You get the only thing we care about from Facebook which is birthdays

Democracy

• Some things are just bad, and the people who talk about them should feel bad about themselves

What We Don't Give a Fuck About

• Friends
• Photos
• Videos
  • If you want to upload a video, go to fucking Vimeo!
  • If you want to share that link in text form, you're in the right place
• Blog posts (posts over 500 characters)
• Don't give a fuck who posted something (you have to opt-in for something to be posted by YOU), so by default we're anonymous by default
• Posts that last forever (fuck search indexing)
• Messaging, go fucking do it somewhere else

What We Fucking Hate

• Engagement - you come to least.social when YOU WANT TO
• Monetization in any way
  • Everything is an ad, if you see something it's not because it's fun, it's because they want to sell you something
• A good social media site should get nothing from you
  • On Least.social you are not the product, because we barely have a product
• Upvoting via bots
• Seeing bullshit that has been on the front-page that shouldn't be there (artificially upvoted)

Shit We Fucking Need

• Lots of things targeting bots to keep them from ruining the product

What We Don't Fucking Mind

Partnerships!

• Sharing is caring and it can beneficial
• Imgur?
• Vimeo?
