Keep Joinue independent
Joinue runs on donations from the people who use it, which is why nobody upstairs is asking me to squeeze you. No ads, no ad trackers, and I do not sell your personal data.
Choose an amount
One time, in US dollars. There is no subscription to cancel later.
There is no badge and no perk for this. Everything in Joinue is free either way, which is rather the point.
- 01
The bills
Databases, image and video storage, map tiles, texts and email. They arrive whether anyone donates or not.
- 02
The team
Just one developer in Tucson, and a dog who contributes vibes. Enough donations and we get real staff involved.
- 03
The independence
No investors means nobody waiting on a return, which is what usually kicks off the enshittification process.
Running it does cost money, so if enough people show up I'll have to work out how it pays for itself. Whatever that turns out to be, it won't be excessive ads or profiling you. The full story is on Pricing and Your data.
Social apps should help you live your life, not consume it.
