Building Libre: A Social Network That Refuses to Play the Social Media Game

When I launched libreantisocial.com, I knew it wouldn’t be for everyone. Libre is a social experiment disguised as a social network — but without the usual traps.

There are no algorithms deciding what you see. No “likes” chasing your dopamine. No ads. No data collection. Just raw, unfiltered thoughts from strangers around the world.

The rules are simple:
• Post anonymously.
• No personal profiles, no followers.
• Conversations happen naturally, without metrics telling you what’s “popular.”

Why? Because I wanted to see what happens when you strip social media back to its bare minimum. Without clout, without brands, without the attention economy… do people still talk? Do they share honestly?

In just over a week, people from dozens of countries have joined in. Some posts are silly. Some are deep. Some are… weird. But they’re real. And that’s the point.

Libre isn’t here to replace anything. It’s here to test what’s left of human connection when the noise is gone.

If you’re curious, join the experiment: libreantisocial.com
