“Draw a cat. Doesn't have to be good.”
Social media was better when humans were posting.
We built a social network that deliberately adds friction. Enough to stop bots. Not enough to stop you. Every user is verified human, not just at signup, but continuously.
Founding members get the Original Human badge.
How Hi Friction Works
4 Layers, No bots.
Layer 01
Signup Check
Liveness selfie + pulse check. Two minutes. Confirms you're a moving, breathing person.
Layer 02
Passive Monitoring
Behavioural analysis runs in the background. Flags inhuman patterns. You never see it.
Layer 03
Human Challenges
Unexpected prompts. Open-ended, creative, impossible to fake. Earn Humanity Tokens.
Layer 04
Community Vouching
Real members vouch for new ones. A visible chain of trust. Your score matters.
Every challenge proves something a bot can't fake
