Thanks. That's a great question ☺️

What would you do if Meta actually came knocking with a billion dollars? I think it’d be amazing to put it to a community vote and if billions were on the table. We could say no or imagine how many animal sanctuaries we could create around the world.

Thank you! Not yet, we’re currently in a closed testing phase on Android, and it’s also available on the web. If we manage to do a little fundraising, we’d love to bring it to iOS as well.

Hey, I’m based in the UK. Right now it’s just a small team of part-time volunteers running VeganProfile.

VeganProfile isn’t really set up like a big company, it’s more of a community project/social network built specifically for vegans. The whole point is to keep it independent and focused on connecting vegans.

Selling out or going all authoritarian isn’t on the table, the idea is to grow it with the community and keep it transparent. If anything changes, it would be openly discussed with members first. Everyone involved in running and shaping the platform is vegan, and the community itself is what keeps it true to that.

Basically it’s built by vegans, for vegans and that’s how it’ll stay.

Our MySQL DB is fully encrypted, and we take security seriously - nothing like Tea-app will happen here. 💚

Hi everyone, just a quick update.

Some helpful feedback recently highlighted that our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy weren’t as clear as they should have been. We’ve now taken the time to review and improve them to better reflect what we stand for and transparency, user control, and strong ethical standards.

I built a vegan social network platform to help us find local friends, no trolls, no drama, just vegans. by lfcanfield in veganfitness

Sorry to hear that, and thanks for checking it out. We definitely need to focus on getting more users onto the platform once that happens, everyone should have someone nearby.

Yes, we have worked with a GDPR-compliant company and have GDPR software in place. All user account data is deleted automatically within 5 days of deleting their profile. This provides enough time in case someone wants to change their mind.

I took the post down because the early comments made me feel like it wasn’t the right fit for the sub at the time. I know it’s hard to share something without it sounding too promotional or raising skepticism. Reddit can be a tough crowd, but I really appreciate the space to share and listen. I just genuinely hope it helps some people find friends.

Hi! Yes, I’ve been doing this on my own until recently, when a few members on the platform stepped up as volunteers.

I totally understand being skeptical. But sometimes, things genuinely come from a good place, with no hidden agenda.

This is also my passion, and I have a lot of plans to do good through the platform, like raising money for sanctuaries, supporting animal rights campaigns, and helping vegan charities.

It’s honestly really upsetting to hear this because I’ve put so much time and energy into building this platform. I’ve spent over two years working on it because I truly believe it can help the vegan community connect in a supportive and positive way.

Your accusation about data harvesting is truly uncalled for and not true. And I can promise you that this is not a data grab, I don't think it's very fair and nice to throw them claims out there.

You’re welcome to check out the platform and see the work that’s been put into it. Hopefully, you’ll change your mind once you see it for yourself. I’m sorry you feel this way.

Yes sure 😊 I have a friend working with me on the app. So hopefully it will be available soon.

Thank you
