## Why We Built KLASSIC
Social media has become essential to how young people connect, express themselves, and navigate the world. But the platforms available today were not designed with their wellbeing in mind.
They were designed to maximize engagement - which often means maximizing anxiety, comparison, and time spent scrolling. Algorithms decide what you see based on what keeps you on the app longest, not what is good for you.
We believed there had to be a better way.
## A Different Approach
KLASSIC starts from a simple premise: what if we built a social platform where safety was the foundation, not an afterthought?
This means:
- **No algorithmic manipulation** - You see posts from people you follow, in chronological order
- **No strangers in your DMs** - Strict controls on who can contact you
- **No body morphing AI** - Our creative tools enhance, they do not deceive
- **No engagement tricks** - We measure success by how good you feel, not how long you stay
## What is Coming
We are launching in early 2026 with iOS and Android apps. Join the waitlist to be among the first to experience social media that actually cares about you.
