𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲 Sopha is designed against the 'mindless feed'. With Intentional Mode, we place thick lines between casts so you recognize you're stepping from one thought to another. You have to click to get more. Pause. Breathe. Read.

𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Taste, curation, and discernment are things to design for, not eliminate. We value human judgment. Every cast you see here was selected by a human for the good of other people.

𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 Sopha isn't designed as your only client. Think of it as a Farcaster third space; come here when you want a specific, high-quality experience, while still using your daily driver for the firehose.

𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 Content on Sopha has a much longer shelf life. Because we filter for quality, a thoughtful piece written two weeks ago is still visible and valuable today. You don't have to rush; good thoughts stick around.

𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Openness Without Naivety We build on open protocols, but we recognise that healthy spaces require boundaries and stewardship. We welcome diversity, but we aren't naive-we will delete trash that doesn't align with our values to protect the community experience.

Value: Care is Infrastructural We believe care is a secret sauce that should be built into the code. It started with the 'thank you for curating' response, but it goes deeper. Care is about stewardship of the ecosystem and ensuring our decisions foster the best environment for people creating on decentralised social.

Philosophy: Unflattening Social Social media often feels 'flat'-stripping away nuance. We are here to 'unflatten' the social experience. By embracing personality (inc GIF PFPs!) and prioritising depth, we want you to see the full person behind the cast, not just the content. Building space for weirdness & personality

𝗚𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 New to the sofa? Here is your quick glossary: • Sopha: The app. • Sophlet: Your mascot—that one-eyed owl on a sofa you see in peoples PFP. • Sofistas: That’s you. The nickname for the thoughtful innovators making up this community. Welcome!
