Bliish.space is an ultra-fast, lightweight, open-source social platform with customizable profiles, no ads, no tracking, and simple, affordable self-hosting. It includes profiles, wall posts, friends, favorites, props, blogs, comments, groups, notifications, private messages, automoderation and user-friendly admin tools.
There is an algorithm on Bliish...
But it is only available to me. I just built it for fun to challenge myself on how to architect a simple algorithm, using Reddit as inspiration.
Should I release it? I don’t mind keeping it for myself, but some members asked for it so they can quickly see what’s happening within their groups at a glance without spending too much time scrolling.
Let me know. Once again, I'll just listen to the Bliish community.
I wanna be a cool kid, and cool kids have cool friends. Will you be my friend?
It doesnt let you log in. When you put in your password the continue button never becomes clickable. And if you edit the html to make it clickable it never logs you in. Wasn't sure where to report bugs so I just posted it here :p
I’ve been working really hard this week on the app architecture level to properly clean, organize and tighten up the codebase.
The buggy, slow, janky Bliish is gone… Now Bliish is fast, smooth and snappy.
Of course it’s still far from perfect, but I feel like now we went from an ‘open beta’ experience to a proper v1 release and IMO it's not bad at all for a platform that is just 72 days old.
Try to clear up your cache, close and re-open (or refresh) the app and you should instantly feel the difference.
Ok so to me it sounds like the owner is a liar and only cares about money from what I have read something about monetization and stuff and will not listen to the people who was trying to help them so can their be like an alternative where the owner will actually listen to people and will actually care about what people have to say and everything
Anyways I like making dumb posts
so I have a simple question can I dm my friends and if so how if not do they plan on adding this?
I decided to quit. Thanks for all the fun times and thank you for being my friends :) i hope you all have a good rest of your life.
I have recently had to demote several mods.
This was a difficult decision, but it became clear they were attempting to take control of Bliish for their own reasons: could be malicious, for profit, for fun... I honestly don't know and don't want to know.
If you are worried about safety, I only kept the mods I can actually trust so Bliish is still fully moderated.
This situation is a painful reminder to be cautious about who you trust online.
Since I brought these mods on, the environment in our private mods Discord became progressively toxic. I was being insulted, told the app was pure sh*t (from people using it all day every day btw) and constantly pressured to share the source code. It started little by little in the beginning, but it has now reached a point where it happens every day. Some mods even tried to doxx my identity by investigating Bliish LLC public info (wtf?!).
I always refused these requests politely and explained that user data and safety are too important to hand over the keys to the platform to strangers. Because of the constant harassment, I stopped visiting the Discord server to protect my mental health. It was making me anxious, which is the exact opposite of the positive environment I want to build on Bliish.
Now here is a small story OGs will remember: one of the leaders of this "mutiny" was caught in the early days of Bliish sneakily promoting their own platform named 'Bliishliinks' (how creative...) on old posts and then deleting the comments to hide their tracks once the user saw the comment and joined their web app so I won't see. I caught them red-handed, they apologized and I chose to give them a second chance by making them a moderator. Spoiler alert: it was not a good idea.
Now, these individuals are apparently building their own platform. Since they failed to get their hands on the Bliish source code, they are instead copying my exact style and using their accounts to spam Bliish with promotions or saying how evil Bliish is.
I urge you to be extremely careful. These users have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. I strongly recommend against signing into their platform, as you have no way of knowing how your private information will be handled.
Now, this is a "he said, she said" situation, and I hate that drama has been brought to our platform. They have even gone as far as leaking private conversations screenshots. I will not ban them, as I do not believe in censorship, but please be aware that much of what they share is either a distortion of reality or a straight up lie. I think it's pretty easy to tell given how they communicate and spam (but I might be biased).
They have even claimed Bliish is "vibe-coded"... Anyone who understands development just a bit knows that vibe-coding could never build a fully functional platform like this. I have always been transparent about using AI tools for coding assistance (just like the developers at Bluesky, Mastodon and every other major platform we all use) but the whole design and architecture is 100% me. The content on the platform remains AI-free and that won't change.
I may lose some users who choose to believe their story, but I have been honest since day one. You can choose to support a solo developer having fun building a non-toxic community and bringing together 4,000 (and growing) amazing members.
Or you can join a group focused on spreading negativity and drama, but if you are looking for that just go to Reddit or Twitter and please leave Bliish.
Of course, I archived proof for everything, but I would hate to share private conversations and bring even more drama here. It is completely against my beliefs and Bliish values. As you can see, they do not follow the same principles and literally pollute the platform with toxicity, drama, spam and negativity.
This is the last time I will ever speak on this topic. I know that karma and time will eventually reveal the truth.
I am moving past this now and Bliish is only getting stronger! Let's get back to the fun stuff and spread positivity! :)
should the bliish creator make an official community discord server?
I have no idea what the website looks like when logged in
how is it like to be there?
Just let us integrate with people, i swear this was the chillest platform i've known until now 🙏🙏
Most of the mod team has been demoted. Why u/bliish? a person is threatening to spam. Why? I NEED ANSWERS! WHYYYY?
