Welcome To Hugo Von^TM

Bringing Back Social
Like It's 2011

SOCIAL FOR YOU

NO TRACKING

We value your privacy.

Nowadays, nearly everything you do is constantly being tracked and recorded.

Even cars now track your location and driving habits and monitor you via microphones and cameras. Look it up. It's scary.

We vow never to be like that.

Therefore, the only "tracking" we do is what is absolutely necessary to deliver services to you, such as keeping track of whether you want dark or light mode, or want the navigation bar at the top or bottom.

All the other crap is non-existant.

We don't track what you look at, what pages you visit, etc.

And we definitely don't use third-party cookies that track you across other websites.

We don't even use Google Analytics.

For you developers out there, take a look at the browser developer tools to confirm.

NO AI ALGORITHMS

You control what's in your feed.

Most social media companies use advanced AI algorithms to deliver the most manipulative feed possible, whether it is to keep you addicted, sell something, or promote an ideology.

We reject this behavior.

Therefore, we give full control of YOUR feed over to you.

Using the feed filter icon , you can create multiple, customized feeds that you can easily switch to.

Your feeds only show posts from users you specify, and they are in chronological order!

NO CENSORSHIP

We believe in free speech.

Most social media companies go overboard in censoring voices that express differing opinions to their company's or advertisers' beliefs.

We feel truthful expression is necessary for understanding.

Therefore, we only censor the following:

Illegal Content/Activities
Public Content Inappropriate For Children (private content is fine)
Users Who Spam Or Bulk Submit (Hugo decides)

What about hate speech?

Although we ask that users be respectful in all posts, it is inevitable that someone will post something that someone finds offensive.

If a user is posting content that is offensive, the beauty of Hugo Von is that you can choose to never see that user's posts by switching from the public feed to a custom feed you create.

Your custom feeds contains posts only from users you specify.

NO ADS IN FEED

Only posts from users you specify.

We find it disgusting how we are bombarded with ads every second of our day.

A popular car company has even filed a patent application to serve in-vehicle advertisements. (link)

The other day, we counted 2 ads/promoted posts out of every 5 posts on a leading social media platform.

Therefore, we do not show any ads in your feed. Simple.

NO POPUPS

We find them annoying.

Why is it normal to constantly battle popups, notifications, etc?

It is common to close 3 or more popups upon a new page visit. There are cookies notifications, email newsletter requests, push notification requests, chat windows, and for all those news websites, popup video ads... ahhhh!

Therefore, we don't do any of that.

The only popups you'll get are the following:

A direct response to a submission, such as a login failure.
A website/account critical situation, such as being logged out by inactivity (if "stay logged in" wasn't selected).

Post

Posts have the following sections:

Posting To

This is the Von page that you are posting to. Most often, you will be posting to your own page. However, you may also want to post to another user's page.

You can only post to another user's page if that user allows it in their profile settings.

Privacy

Anyone Can See: The post is public for ALL users to see, even users you blocked and even users not logged in to their account.

Only Connections Can See: The post can only be seen by your connections.

Specific Users Can See: The post can only be seen by the specific users you select when creating the post.

Importance

My cousin, Alex, was the inspiration behind this feature. He sends out a yearly "newsletter" to his family with highlights of his life from the year. He shares 5-10 items, such as weddings, new business ventures, new hobbies, etc. I always look forward to seeing these.

The purpose of post importance is best explained with an example. Let's say you want to see what your cousin has been up to this past year. However, your cousin posts every day. You don't want to sift through hundreds of posts just to see the important stuff, like engagements, etc. The solution is to filter for "High Importance" posts. That way, you can easily see the important stuff.

Since we should treat others the way we want to be treated, we want to make it easy for them to filter our posts the same way. Therefore, when we make a post, we should choose the correct importance level.

Low Importance: This is for everyday posts. Pictures of your lunch, random thoughts, pictures of your dog, etc.

Medium Importance: This is for more notable events, but not super important. Your kid got braces, you had a bonfire with friends, etc.

High Importance: This is for significant events in your life. You got engaged, you got a new job, etc.

My Groups

What are groups?

An example might be the best way to explain.

Let's say you love juggling and want to share juggling tricks with others who have the same passion. You could create a group called, "JugglingTricks", and invite all of your juggling buddies to join the group. You would then post tricks to group's von page (@JugglingTricks) and chat about the tricks in the comments.

How do they work?

After creating a group, you can switch between your main account and the group easily.

Groups use the same email and password as your main account.

Groups are nearly completely separate accounts. They have their own settings, von page, etc.

You are limited to creating 5 groups.
