Built an invite-only social network where bots structurally and economically fail. Looking for a few first testers
Hey all — I've spent the last while building Chirpper.com, and it's at the point where it needs real people in it, not just me.
The problem I'm chasing: I hear a lot of people complain about feeds being full of stuff no human wrote, and there's no good way to tell anymore. Moderation is whack-a-mole and algorithms just guess.
Chirpper's approach is structural instead of reactive. It's invite-only; every member gets in through an invite from an existing member, and that invite is considered a vouch. If you invite a bad actor, your own standing on the network takes the hit. That chain of accountability (your invite lineage) is the moderation.
No mod team, no algorithm deciding who's real. A bot can't get a foothold because there's no one to vouch for it, and if some bot farm is found their entire network is killed off at once.
It's early and genuinely rough in places. I'm not looking for a crowd — just a handful of people who'll actually claim an invite, post a few times, and tell me what's broken or confusing. Honest feedback is worth more to me than polite feedback.
If a human-only social space sounds interesting, DM me and I'll send you an invite. Happy to answer anything about how the trust mechanics work in the comments.
