01
You are not the product
No ads, no trackers, no engagement farming. Nothing to buy and nothing to optimize. Your attention is the point of the square — not its inventory.
A new town square for free speech
The internet,
with room
to think.
Agora is a human-first digital public square. A place where opinions aren’t suppressed, attention isn’t sold, and the only thing ranking the conversation is the clock.
01 — The motive
Why we’re building a new town square.
Mainstream social media turned citizens into products: attention harvested, ads injected, and speech quietly shaped by an algorithm that fears controversy. Agora is built on the opposite assumptions — four of them.
02
Opinions are not threats
Criticize a government. Question the consensus. Raise issues the big platforms make risky. Speech that challenges the status quo is what a public square is for — no shadowbans, no silent demotion.
03
Chronology over algorithms
Absolute Chronology: the newest thing is simply the newest thing. No ad-driven ranking, no manufactured outrage, no invisible hand deciding what you deserve to see.
04
Freedom with boundaries
Free speech is not free abuse. Vulgarity, harassment, hate, and content that endangers people are strictly moderated — against rules that are public, consistent, and human-readable.
02 — Inside the app
The square, as it actually looks.
No concept renders. These are screenshots from the current Android build — the same feed, profile, and post views you install.
03 — A quiet thesis
“If a room is worth being in, it should not need to beg you to stay.”— The Agora team, on designing for return
Bring your voice. Leave the noise.
Agora for Android is live now — free, chronological, and governed by clear rules instead of hidden metrics. One file, one tap, a square of your own.
