In light of the Social Media ban for Australian Kids I'm working on what I think a good social media network should be, Connections only, no sharing other people posts, no algorithm only time based posts and events that are designed to be private.

This is going to include friend requests only being available in person, no searching of "friends" on the platform at all, to create the connection you will need to be either in person or at least texting / messaging. This makes it more personal and beneficial to have a real world connection.

For a v1 (or better yet beta) release all I'm looking at is Timeline, Photo and Text Posts, Events, Friends List (with notes on each friend) Other features can roll later. but the main selling point is still - no algo - easy - personable - fast and free no idea how to monetize though.
