Our Facebook
Your profile, your wall, your rules.
Our Facebook is your own profile and wall. You get a profile page with your name, your handle and your picture, and a wall you post to: text and links, with comments and likes from the people on your install. It is the familiar shape of a social profile, on a domain you own.
Nothing sits between you and the people who follow you: there is no ranking algorithm choosing who sees your post, and no adverts in the middle of the conversation. The wall, the comments and the likes all run today; what is not built is a separate friends model, because an audience identity is a larger decision than a wall, and the app is honest about which half it has.
Step by step
How to set up your wall and post to it
These are the real steps in your own install: a profile, a post, a comment and a like. Nothing needs anyone's approval.
- STEP 01
Open Our Facebook
From your workspace, open Our Facebook. It is your profile and your wall, already part of your install.
- STEP 02
Set up your profile
Add your name, your handle and a picture. This is the page people land on when they look you up on your domain.
- STEP 03
Write a post
Write to your wall — a sentence, a thought, a link. It is published under your name and appears on your profile.
- STEP 04
Reply and like
Open a post and add a comment, or like it. The conversation is attached to the post, on your own server.
- STEP 05
Share your profile
Send the address of your profile on your own domain. It is the one link that shows who you are and what you have posted.
What it does
Everything a movie needs, without a camera
A profile you own
Your name, your handle and your picture on a page on your own domain — the address you share instead of a profile on someone else's site.
A wall you post to
Post text and links to your wall, where the people on your install can read them, in the order they were written rather than the order an algorithm chose.
Comments and likes
The people who read your post can reply to it and like it, so a wall is a conversation rather than an announcement.
No ranking algorithm
Posts appear in the order they were made. Nobody's feed is filtered to increase the time they spend looking at it.
No adverts
There is nothing inserted into your wall and nothing sold against your attention, because you are the one who runs it.
The same people as your other apps
The people you post to are the handles from your own install's directory, so your wall, your photos and your video share one set of people rather than three.
Questions
Questions people ask
Straight answers, and where something is not built yet it says so.
What is Our Facebook?
Does it have friends?
Can other people post to my wall?
Is there an algorithm deciding who sees my post?
Where does my content live?
Our Facebook is ready on your install
It is part of Social Jinni and it runs on your own server — nothing to register, nothing to approve.
