The social network where credibility counts for more than reach.

Skriza is built in Europe and runs on European servers. Made for people, universities, public authorities and companies who would rather not write for an algorithm.

The principle behind Skriza

Where that shows up in the product.

Reputation that counts
Resonance rewards posts people argue about rather than posts people merely see. It earns trust and reach, never money. We discount reciprocal boosting, and even so, no ranking is impossible to game.
Verified identities
Planned: students via university email, institutions via EU-sovereign digital identity. Today we verify accounts by hand.
Fair rewards, not play money
Planned: direct support and memberships instead of virtual gifts. Advertising strictly curated — and never for minors.

European technology

Built in Europe, down to the machine room

Every outside service on this list is a target, not a permanent state. Two are replaced: our own bot protection runs instead of Google reCAPTCHA, our own measurement instead of Google Analytics. The remaining two follow the same path.

Running entirely in the EU is a condition for opening to the public, not a later upgrade.

A protected space for younger users

Knowledge instead of wasted time

Where many platforms optimise for time spent, Skriza puts the value of content first — creating a protected space for education and lifelong learning.

Educational content

Content that educates, inspires and delivers real value should come first. That is what we are working towards.

Youth protection designed in from the start

We are building moderation and safeguards before the platform opens — not afterwards, once the damage is done.

The public feed is ordered by published principles: replies count for more than likes, and views count for nothing. Readable under “Feed ranking”.

Why switch to Skriza?

Most of the differences below follow from one decision: we make no money from your attention.

Data location
Core data on European servers, legal venue in Europe
Foreign clouds and third-country transfers
Feed ranking
Published principles — discussion beats views
Engagement black box tuned for addiction
Advertising
Strictly curated, contextual, never for minors
Surveillance ads built on shadow profiles
Design
No dark patterns — you control your time
Infinite scroll engineered to keep you hooked
Identities
Verified people and institutions (in development)
Bots, fakes and coordinated manipulation
Your data
Export and deletion on request, handled manually during the beta
Archived, resold, never truly gone

Built for institutions, too

Universities, public authorities, companies and NGOs — on infrastructure that stays in the EU.

Universities & students

Students verify with their university email; institutions issue verifiable credentials and reach learners directly.

Verifiable credentials

Public authorities

Verified official channels with trusted, authoritative reach — the antidote to misinformation.

Companies & NGOs

A credible, GDPR-max home for organisations that value sovereignty over surveillance.

Frequently asked questions

Including the awkward ones.

Is Skriza free?

Skriza is in closed beta and free for testers. Long-term, core use stays free — creators and institutions get optional paid features.

How is Skriza different from other social networks?

The ranking of the public feed is published — the formula and its weights are on /ranking, where discussion counts for more than views. That is the difference you can go and read; the others follow from it.

Where is my data stored?

Core data — accounts, posts, media — sits on servers inside the European Union, with legal venue in Europe. A US-based CDN currently sits in front of the site, so connection data can pass through it; that is stated in our privacy notice and is meant to go before production. Your data is never sold.

How do I get access?

Apply for the beta below. Approved testers receive a personal access key by email.

Is Skriza safe for young people?

Youth protection is central for us — which is why we have not opened yet. Educational content first, plus moderation and parental controls: both being built, and a precondition for launching publicly rather than something bolted on later.

What happens to my data if Skriza shuts down?

Skriza is a one-person project in closed beta, paid for out of pocket. It may come to nothing. If we stop, every account gets at least 30 days' notice by email, an export of your posts and messages, and the database is deleted afterwards. The data is not sold, including as part of an insolvency estate.

Who is behind this?

One person: Yusuf Senel in Langenfeld, Germany. The full postal address is in the imprint — no PO box, no shell company. There is no team and there are no investors; if you get a reply, it is from me.

Apply for the beta

Two fields, that is all we need. A person reads every application; a reply usually takes one to two weeks.

What you get as a tester

  • Early access — every new feature lands with you first.
  • A direct line to the team: your feedback shapes the product.
  • Free for the whole beta. Core use stays free afterwards.

Spots are limited — we onboard in small cohorts.
