“If there is one certainty of social media in 2025, it’s this: Rage clicks rule. Hyperbole, hate, brash deception—it’s all par for the course—and often rewarded with virality. On Sez Us, users who are intentionally inflammatory may score lower than those who gain influence through respectful dialog.”

I must say I do love this concept. The app is trying to build up trust, civility, transparency, and reputation. Because of this, I’m going to give it a try.

My early impressions are I do like having a 300 character post title and 15,000 characters available for the body text. An interesting point too, is you can link to X (yes I know…) as well as Bluesky, and set toggles on the post to send to those networks at the same time.

But don’t worry, the feed view only shows a few lines from the post, so the scrolling is quite easy.

Their business model says that Sez Us is built on advertisers working directly with creators and investing in great content. There is nothing I could see about their technology, but it appears to be a centralised platform. There are also mobile apps I see available.
