Social media was better when humans were posting.
We built a social network that deliberately adds friction. Enough to stop bots. Not enough to stop you. Every user is verified human — not just at signup, but continuously.
Founding members get the Original Human badge.
How Hi Friction Works
Verify Humanity
We check you're human before you post. Not once — continuously.
Nothing creepy. Nothing kept.
Post With Intention
A little friction goes a long way. Less spam. Less fake. More things worth reading.
Verified Humans only. Obviously.
Better Conversations
This is what social media feels like when the people on it are all actually people.
No Bots. Just real people. That's it.
Here's how we keep the bots out.
Spoiler: it's more fun than a CAPTCHA.
You sign up. We check.
Liveness selfie. Phone verification. Two minutes. Confirms you're a moving, breathing person. Welcome.
We keep checking. Quietly.
Behavioural monitoring runs in the background. Inhuman patterns get flagged. You never see it. It just works.
Challenges keep you human.
Periodically, we'll ask you something a bot can never answer. Show us your view right now. Describe your commute in four words. Find something older than you. Complete a challenge, earn a Humanity Token.
The community vouches.
Real members vouch for new ones. Your Human Score grows. The top tier? Verified Human. The most coveted badge on the network.
Stake your claim. Stay human.
Pick your handle. We'll hold it until launch.
We won't sell your email, spam your inbox, or send you a bot-generated newsletter. That would be embarrassing for us.
The first wave gets something no one else will.
Get in early and your username is yours from day one — no one else can take it.
Founding members carry the Original Human badge permanently. It marks you as someone who was here before the bots even tried. That's not a perk. That's history.
