poipoi is a social network for people who share a city. Not an audience — actual people, in the same streets, the same neighbourhoods, the same time. Your network is built on real encounters, and stays small on purpose.
The things people share here look different because the people reading them are actually nearby. A day trip to a town an hour away. A restaurant nobody’s written about yet. A picture from the weekend. Plans coming together. It is what happens when the people you share with might actually show up.
A place to share your life with the people who are part of it, right now. Not a place to perform for an audience.
Tonight Plans for right now. Wannabe Plans for when you’re not sure yet. Raise your hand to say you’re in — no commitment, no pressure, no awkward cancellation. The kind of social coordination that actually works when you’re in a place where plans change constantly.
Your feed shows the latest from each connection. A few posts, plans, and a spark of random city buzz. That’s your bulletin. No algorithm deciding what you see. No infinite scroll. No anxiety. A cork board, not a vortex — you look at it once and then you go live your life.
A quote. A song. A mood. Places you’ve been. Plans you’re making. A customizable theme so it actually looks like you. Not a professional bio, not a highlight reel — something closer to a window into who you are when you’re actually living.
The things that make social media anxious and performative — the rankings, the metrics, the noise — were left out deliberately. What remains is a quieter space, built around the people who are actually there.
“Ronda is the most dramatic
place I have ever been.”
