Ev Williams, the guy who co-founded Twitter and Medium, is back with Mozi, a new social platform that says “nah” to likes and follower counts. Instead, it’s all about vibing over shared interests and meaningful chats. No metrics, no pressure—just good ol’ human connection (allegedly).

Our take: Trying to detox social media with no likes or clout metrics? Bold. But let’s see if Mozi can thrive in a world that thrives on the serotonin hit of one more follower or a perfectly timed like.
