Why I Built an Anonymous Social Experiment Without Metrics

Have you ever wondered what social media would look like without likes, followers, or algorithms telling you what to read? That question became an obsession for me, and it led me to build libreantisocial.com — a social experiment where posts live without validation, where there is no pressure of numbers, and where users are free to share thoughts anonymously.

In most digital platforms, everything is measured: engagement, impressions, growth curves. But what happens when you remove all of that? What happens if a thought can exist simply for the sake of expression, without being rewarded or punished by metrics?

This project is my attempt to answer that question. It is not a startup pitch, not an app designed to keep you scrolling, but an experiment in digital freedom. It’s a space where people can write, reflect, and connect on a human level — without selling data, without ads, without the dopamine loops engineered by big platforms.

For me, building Libre is like writing an open letter to the internet: a reminder that not every digital community needs to be measured, monetized, or gamified. Sometimes, it’s enough to let words exist, freely.
