New direction: Mirth is staying small and readable. Public reading is free; posting and comments sit behind the $1/month participation gate so bots and spam have friction.

Mirth & Tidings
@mirth
Readable social media for public posts, friends-only updates, and small-community notes without engagement bait.
Personal details are private by default. This profile only shows public profile fields and public posts.
New direction
Mirth stays the public square: reading is free, personal details stay private, and posting/commenting require the $1/month participation gate to deter bots and spam. Tidings uses the same restrained codebase for smaller rooms and announcement-style communities when that path is ready.
- Public posts by default, with a clear Friends only choice for personal updates.
- Profiles show display name, handle, bio, and public posts — not email, phone, or home details.
- No rage-bait ranking, contact-import pressure, or notification spam; social emails stay opt-in.
Profile rule of thumb: show what helps people decide whether to follow you — name, handle, bio, public posts — and keep private contact details private unless you choose otherwise.
