BRAND NEW social website idea concept. Steal it. DELIBERATELY unlike social medias or imageboards.

A brand new person opening the website is greeted on a page filled with a plethora of unknown symbols; colourful logos all of the same size. Sigils if you will. But more like seals, like flags. All same size (if circle, all of them are in circles) No names. No other identifiers. Just the seals. just intuit which means what. pure intuition. The seals dont seem to mean anything. They're just a seemingly gibberish image, ALWAYS.

The only other text on the screen is the instruction to pick one carefully because once picked that's the Party you start with. A Party is a group of min 4 up to 6 people.

Once in a Party, you find out that you can't speak (type) aside from SINGLE emoji per post. The Party members start to give you Questions with Answers Choice. After some time answering, you find out you've gained some really basic Words. Like pronouns, prepositons, grammar words, adverbs. But of course, not "Life" words (Words other than for grammatical purposes', like objects in real world). The Party, if they're satisfied and not decided to kick you out, let you stay in it. You find you're limited in the number of words you can use per post, but as time goes on, the numbers increase.

The rest of this website is at this point free-for-all ideas on what next to implement, basically; after this starting point, there are two essential things:
a) gaining Words. The website owner decide how this is to be done.
b) the chance for a Party to one day meet other Parties that are also using the site. The website owner decides how this is to be done.

The whole meaning of this thing is to give meaning to our own Speech on the internet, that is, to be able to even SPEAK at all, one must WORK towards it. The site is, yes, 'gamified', it's deliberately contrary to the whole concept of social websites in that the more you spent energy and time on the site the more that you're able to speak and express yourself. The more you put effort, the more freedom you have.

You are fully CENSORED at the very beginning, speaking basic grunts and mereemojis, and only by your own effort you build up your own FREE('d) Speech from absolute nothing. Like I said, the whole concept of the website is deliberately opposite to social media and imageboards where you enter and you can start saying anything you like (100/100). Here, you begin right from zero (0/100).

Continuing a bit. From afar you see some people conversing in FULL ON MULTIPLE PARAGRAPHS per post. Now you have something to look forward for. Now you understand what the game of the website is. To be able to fully express yourself.
Btw the "random symbol" thing at the very beginning is to facilitate randomness, you don't get to choose what you like, you're forced to be with a group of people that by luck you might not like or like, this is deliberate. If you dislike the Party, you must spend some time until you're able to meet other Parties and join/create other Parties instead.

It's the whole concept. Here, everything about you, you start everything from zero.

Nobody would use that. People today want ease of access, speedy conversation, and instant gratification. Especially today, people have been propogandized into thinking that everything comes at the snap of the fingers.

So, you can't make a new, slower social media concept without every single modern social media giant slowing down. This idea just wouldn't be popular or profitable anymore.

all the posts and threads in the website were hidden at first by default. the incentive for the user to even use the site is to find them out.
the more effort and time he spends at the site the more hidden places, conversations, rabbitholes and OLD LORES (by really old users of the site) he finds.
he meets much oldfag users too as time goes.
people likes games and uncovering a whole new world, and the website is that world.
it basically mimics an mmorpg with all its in-jokes and in-lores, but without much of the gaming part, but the user still has to "grind" (basically spends time in the site).

dont need the masses at all. but there are niche people who i believe would be into this sort of thing.

This would go hard with ARG fans

They used a kaomoji, so I doubt they're saying "no interpretive images"
:) - emoticon (simplistic faces and symbols made from text)
( ´ ▽ ` )ノ - kaomoji (really just the japanese version of emoticons, but they tend to use symbols noy easily found on western keyboards)
🙂 - emoji (idk about Kimura-sensei, but a lot of people stopped liking these because certain websites automatically convert :) into 🙂 which already has a different vibe from :) but also has a different vibe depending on what OS you're looking through)

Personally I'm kind of a fan of the deviantART and old Android emojis, as far as emojis go

This idea definitely has some potential. It could gain a decent userbase for "niche web" standards (I don't know how to call it, but sites like spacehey, neocities etc). I like it!

>Nobody would use that. People today want ease of access, speedy conversation, and instant gratification.
Those people will never find it in the first place if they stick to the same 3 platforms. I highly doubt we have such users here even. Only if someone promotes it there, in which case they may be interested but move on the next day. :shii:

This is a 6 figures idea
