Our take
Social media can be a fantastic way for communities to come together, with local residents being able to share news, events, ask questions, and tell jokes to nearby residents. However, having a name and profile tied to posts often puts pressure on users and the content that they share, ultimately preventing people from signing up and contributing.
Jodel develops a social media platform for hyperlocal communities, allowing users to instantly be connected with people around them for the sharing of news, events, information, and entertainment. Unlike most social networks, Jodel does not use the concept of profiles, meaning that content shared on the platform is completely anonymous.
Whilst some existing social media platforms are using anonymity to tackle censorship and free speech, Jodel has taken a more casual approach by focussing on the benefits that anonymity brings to hyperlocal social media communities. The platform also stands out by automatically connecting users with nearby people, as opposed to them having to proactively seek out local and anonymized communities on existing social media platforms.
