Thanks, I'll take those comments on board. I literally just posted it as soon as I thought it was ready to go. I think the big elephant in the room is definitely how you get people to move off other platforms but then I realised I can't build with that mindset. I have to build something I would want to use first and then hope there will be many others like me. My primary goal is a place I can build these small communities for my family, my friends, my interests, my religion, etc. I just feel like that's really missing. The world is too public. I need to take this all private.

I'll look into the other stuff you mentioned too. I think the whole privacy first thing is to just say, it's an invite only network and nothing is public. But I know people care about privacy policies and terms of use. Tbh it's mostly us tech folk who bark on about it. Normal people don't care. My wife doesn't care. I gloss over these things. But I understand.
