Realness online – I made a social network for intimate friend groups

In plain words

Realness Online is a social network designed for small, close-knit friend groups to communicate and share with each other. Launched in 2021, it focuses on private interactions rather than broad audiences. The platform is available on GitHub, making it accessible for users interested in self-hosted or open-source social networking solutions. It serves people looking for an alternative to mainstream social media platforms for intimate group conversations.
