In Okinawa, Japan -- there's a concept called  "moai" refers to a social support group, often consisting of 5-7 friends, that provides mutual support and encouragement throughout life.  They start as strangers and grow to become like family.

I think this is something we need as humans so I created a beta for a digital version of this. If you want to try it and get added into a random group of strangers to become life-long supportive friends you can now do so.  https://moaichat.com  

It's free.  It's encrypted so only your group can read what you share.  It's likely full of bugs and missing features but a way to connect is there.  You can be anonymous if you want -- but if you use it -- be real.   Abuse tools will come in soon to safeguard against trolls but I hope it can help make sure everyone who feels like they've got 'no one' can still have a group of people.

If you join and there's no one in your group -- when more people join they'll fall into your group so hang tight.  it's starting small.

the login system will likely get updated to be ...better.  this was a build it fast and test/update over time.  So currently your username can be...whatever you want but soon you'll likely have a way to link your account to a better login system and then we'll move forward with that etc.

should I use a username not found anywhere?

think of it as a group chat for a random group of strangers that over time will hopefully become friends.  so you're never alone and always have a small tribe of folks.   it's encrypted too so no nonsense with sharing data or AI etc.  just a legit group chat app (PWA) to connect with people.

this is a cool idea. is this a messaging app or like a safe space chat roulette?

Apparently that’s also good for longevity
