There's a new social networking site named Ello! (https://ello.co/beta-public-profiles)

Anyone tried it out yet/have an account? Super curious as to what it's like. It'll be interesting to see if it takes off and is able to stay true to its manifesto (https://ello.co/wtf/post/manifesto).

For me, any reason to abandon Facebook is highly welcomed.

I appreciate minimalism, but there's nothing to read and no one to add as a friend.

Except me (http://ello.us/leviathant)!

Just a minor thing but i kinda hate that it's another site that outlaws NSFW stuff though, i know there's some other sites for that and i get that they want to keep it clean and don't want it to turn into a cesspool of crap that and prob to keep it safe for those who ARE using the site while at work but i mean sheeeeesh so many of these sites save for tumblr gotta be so prudish. Oh well.

I did just open an account on there too though.

added ya Leviathant.

but yeah, still figuring out what i should or could post on there besides pictures as there's too many sites I'm already on where I'm posting pictures lol trying to be less redundant.

It sort of feels like Google+ at the moment where i just don't know what i should even do with it.

They wont let me join.


We will invite you as soon as we can. Ello is currently in beta, and we are inviting new users in small groups as we roll out new features.

:(

I guess I'll just keep on being antisocial then.

Oh apparently they do allow NSFW content.. in some way now.

"Don’t post sexually explicit content without flagging your profile Not Suitable for Work (NSFW). NSFW flagging in is development. This policy will go into effect as soon flagging is completed. We respect the diverse views of the Ello community. Not everyone wants to see sexually explicit content. If you regularly post this sort of content, please respect those in our community who do not wish to see it by flagging your profile NSFW. Doing so will screen your Profile’s content from Ello users who would prefer not to see it."

They must have just updated that, could have sworn i read a no porn rule somewhere on their site.

I've seen and utilized it though I don't have an account. It is like tumblr and pinterest, imagery but no dialogue,. More of the former than the latter, at least

Damn, this looks exactly like an Image sharing site I developed an iOS app for, about two years ago. Albeit with worse pagination.

I can't think of a higher risk startup venture than a social network.

This has put me right off. Email from Ello, infantilizing right from the get go:


What’s new today:

Big security force-field
Made it hard for people who weren’t hugged enough as children from spamming
Mobile Ello got way better
You can now cut images & paste them into the omnibar
Squashed lots of bugs
I'd be more interested in investing my time in a startup social network if it didn't try and talk to me as if I were a child.
Extra super surprise awsome emoji thingy that Matt built.

Yeah... they could have just said they made it hard to spam but meh... I couldn't really give a shit.

I don't fall into the demographic they're trying to insult so why should i be bothered?.....

Just like Google+ it really hasn't managed to keep me around in any sort of active capacity.

Followed some folks that likewise aren't posting anything or not that much....

Nobody's posting so it's like there's nothing to do there.
