People keep asking for a platform with no algorithm, and I feel like I’m watching the internet reinvent the wheel in slow motion. That platform already exists. It’s basically MySpace, and it’s called SpaceHey. It was made by a college student in Germany specifically to preserve old skool MySpace culture. No algorithm deciding what you should care about. No engagement farming. No “suggested for you” nonsense. You see posts in chronological order like a civilized human. You can code your page for free. Customization is not stuck behind a paywall like other algorithmic platforms. You can customize everything. You have a Top 8. Music on profiles. No invisible gods shoving content in your face because it performed well with strangers. Is it perfect? No. Is it huge? Also no. That’s kind of the point. If what you actually want is a social space instead of a dopamine casino, it already exists. People just forgot how to exist online without being spoon fed. Sometimes the future looks a lot like the past….we just had to peel the algorithm off it.
