Our story

We're on a mission to disrupt social networking, with goals that are nothing short of world-changing. Toxic capitalism is steadily eroding the integrity of major social platforms—and the negative impacts to society are becoming clear:

Misinformation: social platforms are failing to identify and mark misinformation; additionally, there is little accountability for accounts that repeatedly share misinformation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction.

A.I.-generated content: Similar to misinformation, A.I. images and videos are posted and shared with no label indicating as much, which can further distance users from reality.

Manipulative algorithms: platforms leverage manipulative algorithms to keep users engaged as frequently as possible.

Political influence: unfortunately, some platforms have fallen to political lobbying, and that isn't acceptable regardless of party affiliation.

Cabin is our response to the current state of social platforms. It's an open-source, privacy-focused social network designed for users, not corporate stakeholders or politicians.

We are actively developing Cabin and hope to release an MVP by early summer of 2026. If you are also saddened with the current state of social networking, we'd love for you to join the waitlist, because we're building this for folks like you.

Your Cabin is built as a fully private space. Keep it private, or open it to the world—your call.

The only things you'll see in your feed are posts from your friends and topics you follow. No manipulation.

Fighting misinformation

We'll leverage machine learning and community reporting in our ongoing fight against misinformation.

AT Protocol

A decentralized network for building social applications, AT Protocol will be a core feature of Cabin.
