Focused on private groups of friends and family, Yope has raised $12.3 million in seed funding from investors betting that the future of social networking lies in small, private communities powered by messaging, photo sharing, and, blergh, AI features designed to strengthen real-world relationships. It sounds kinda like old-school Facebook meets the fediverse, but with AI.
The thing I like about social media is that no social media has the answer to what’s wrong with all social media but you can bet everyone on social media loves their version of social media and believes everyone should use that social media.
