This truly anti-social network, developed on pure php, that doesn’t care about your clout, doesn’t force you to perform, and doesn’t try to algorithmically babysit you into “engagement.”
Tired of being gently coerced to friend your grandma so she can like your posts about crypto or cat memes?
Tired of chasing 1,000 followers just so your words don’t sink into the void?
Tired of every “new network” being a clone of the same three platforms, with more ads and less soul?
What makes Hobius… Hobius?
International. Topic-centric, not ego-centric. You don’t follow people. You follow ideas.
No 1000-friend rule. You don’t need to be “popular” to be heard.
Anti-overload. Limited subjects → less spam, more signal.
No Grandma Pressure™. Nobody forces you to connect with family members you’d rather not.
Radical simplicity. Write. Post. Share. That’s it.
Still Beta (Since 2014)
Website is “in beta” for over a decade. Why? The admin is always drunked and the website is never finished — it mutates, like a strange organism. Hobius embraces that chaos. Every bug is also a feature, every quirk a personality trait.
Who is Hobius for?
People allergic to “like-chasing”
Writers who want to post without feeling like unpaid content slaves
Philosophers, trolls, artists, misfits, meme-lords
Anyone tired of mainstream dopamine slot machines disguised as networks
Why bother?
Because the internet was supposed to be weird, fun, dangerous, and free. Not sanitized malls of ads and recycled memes.
Hobius is not trying to be the next Facebook.
It’s trying to be the next unFacebook.
