10 reasons it feels different

Ten honest reasons this app feels different the second you open it.

Keep scrolling. Each stop is a 30-second read.

STOP 01 / 10 · The diagnosis

You're not crazy. The data backs you up.

We didn't build ActsSocial on a hunch. We built it because the research is overwhelming, and the room is finally agreeing with itself.

0%
of all web traffic in 2024 came from bots and AI agents, not real people.

STOP 02 / 10 · The contrast

Same idea.
Opposite engines.

Every social platform decides what to reward. The math after that is mechanical. We've made different choices, line by line, and the feed feels like it.

Other platformsOptimize for time-on-screen.
ActsSocialOptimize for time-with-people.
Reward outrage
Gratitude rises

Your block, first
Ads in every third post
No ads in your feed. Ever.
The math doesn't lie.

Choose what you reward and the feed will follow. We chose gratitude.

STOP 03 / 10 · Your block

A feed that opens with people next door.

Always chronological. Always neighbors first. The lost dog post. The Saturday potluck. The guy two doors down asking to borrow a ladder. No celebrity, no rage bait. Just the block.

STOP 07 / 10 · Real names, real gratitude

Real names. Real photos. Real gratitude that travels.

When the person posting has a real name and the person reading has one too, something shifts. Gratitude lands. A compliment means it. A “thank you, neighbor” isn't like bait. It's an actual thanks. That's what verified humans get you.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son.

Our promises

Six things we always do.

The best way to understand a company is to look at what it commits to. These aren't slogans. They're constraints baked into how the product is built.

Our promise

Keep your data yours.

Not for sale, not to advertisers, not to brokers. There's no second business hiding behind this one.

Our promise

Keep the feed clean.

No targeted ads, no “you looked sad” upsells, no sponsored posts pretending to be friends. The feed stays calm. Forever.

Our promise

Lift gratitude over outrage.

The algorithm is built backwards on purpose. Kindness travels farther here. Divisive, loud content gets a shrug.

Our promise

Keep the room safe for families.

Real moderation by real humans. No bullying, no foul language. Words you wouldn't say in front of your grandmother don't fly here.

Our promise

Insist on real names.

Every account is a verified human with a real photo. Nobody hides behind a handle to say things they wouldn't say to your face.

Our promise

Welcome real humans only.

Active verification. Small friction for humans, hard wall for bots. You see real people only.

Our story

The story behind why ActsSocial exists.

Most of us have felt it and could not name it: the feed that leaves you emptier than before, the faith post that disappears without explanation, the growing sense that none of these platforms were ever truly built for us.

In December 2022, Shawn Whitson was sitting in his bedroom finishing a morning devotional when something happened that he could not explain away and could not ignore. What followed was more than two years of building through opposition that would have stopped almost anyone.

Watch the five-minute video. It is the most honest account of why this platform exists that you will find anywhere.
