Your thoughts deserve a home, not a feed.
No algorithm. No likes or replies to chase. No dopamine traps. Just your words, on your own domain, in chronological order. The way the internet was supposed to work.
Social media is broken.
You know it. I know it.
Twitter became a dumpster fire. Instagram became a shopping mall. TikTok became a slot machine. Even the "alternatives" are just the same game with different rules.
They don't want you to post. They want you to engage. To scroll. To stay. To become content for the algorithm.
Jottings is different.
No algorithm—ever. Your posts appear in chronological order because that's the only order that makes sense.
No likes, no followers, no replies to chase. Your worth isn't measured in hearts.
No ads, no tracking, no manipulation. Your attention isn't for sale.
Just a quiet place to jot things down.
For product updates. For travel notes. For thoughts on life. For whatever you want.
On your own domain. Yours forever.
This is anti-social media.
— Vishal
