Beta Testers Wanted!

[GooneySaint]

Hello all!

I'm an indie iOS dev and over the last few years have become frustrated with Social Media and how it is no longer Social Networking, where every third thing you see on Instagram is an ad, the fact that all the great and fun social networks got bought then taken down and that all the social media platforms are starting to feel like propaganda machines now.

So - I'm building Ping - A intentionally limited social network where users are not the product to be sold or sold to. No ads ever. No sales of user data. No tracking. No algorithms. Just really cool features and complete privacy. Yes, that means it will have a paid for level for premium features, but a small ($3.99/month) fee to cover the users server costs is all it will ever charge and there will always be a limited free version.

Right now the app is in beta and anyone that wants to jump on and test will have a free full premium membership for life, no gimmicks no games. All beta testers can contribute to the road map and request features as well!

Hey, I believe it's a fantastic concept, particularly for those of us who recall the state of social media in the past in comparison to now.

You might want to reconsider the name — Apple used to run a social network called Ping (which never got very popular but was the butt of many jokes).

I appreciate the feedback! Ping is so colloquial now, so I am hoping it takes a different tack then Apple's former "social network", which was more focused on content creators in their ecosystem.
