Show HN: A privacy-first, ad-free, text-only social network

I built this after wanting it to exist for a while. It's a social network that focuses completely on the only feature I care about, discussing things with people I know in a forum-style environment.
I feel like on the current selection of big social networks, this core feature is being lost in the noise of everything else that's been added on top over the years.
I'm also not happy with being encouraged to publicly share as much as possible, and being exposed constantly to ads and other forms of communication from media companies.
I basically put up with all this because I have to, just to have a place where I can have discussions amongst my contacts. So I thought, why not try to build a place that focuses only on that, and throws away all the other stuff.
It was a fun project to build and I thought I would put it out there. If you have any feedback, I'd be really grateful to hear it. Cheers.
