Frequently Asked Questions

Dojo is the first social operating system designed to give users complete control over their social media experience. Unlike traditional platforms, Dojo puts you in charge of what you see, with no algorithms deciding your content and complete privacy by design.

Think of it as social media reimagined from the ground up - where authentic connections matter more than engagement metrics, and where your personal data stays personal.

Dojo is fundamentally different in three key ways:

• User-controlled feeds: You set custom topic filters and sliders to control exactly what content you see
• No algorithms: We don't manipulate your feed to maximize engagement or ad revenue
• Privacy by design: Your data is protected from day one, not as an afterthought

We focus on quality connections and authentic conversations rather than follower counts and viral content.

Yes, Dojo will be free to use. We believe in making authentic social connection accessible to everyone without hidden costs or your data being the product.

We're exploring sustainable business models that align with our privacy-first values, ensuring we can maintain and improve the platform without compromising user privacy.

We're currently in development and working hard to bring Dojo to life. Join our waitlist to be among the first to know when we launch and get early access.

We're committed to taking the time needed to build something truly revolutionary rather than rushing to market with a mediocre product.

Privacy is built into Dojo's core architecture:

• Data minimization: We only collect what's necessary for the platform to function
• No tracking: We don't track your behavior across the web or sell your data
• Encrypted communications: Your messages and private content are encrypted
• Transparent policies: Our privacy practices are clearly explained, not hidden in complex terms

No. We don't use your personal data for targeted advertising or sell it to third parties. Your posts, messages, and activity data remain private and are used only to provide you with the social experience you've customized.

We're exploring advertising models that don't require personal data, such as contextual advertising based on general topics rather than personal profiles.

Absolutely. You have complete control over your data. You can download all your data at any time and permanently delete your account and all associated data whenever you choose.

When you delete your account, we ensure your data is completely removed from our systems within 30 days.

Dojo's content filters give you granular control over your feed:

• Topic selection: Add any keyword or topic you're interested in
• Preference sliders: Set how much you want to see of each topic
• Real-time adjustment: Change your preferences anytime and see immediate results
• No hidden algorithms: What you set is exactly what you get

Private groups are spaces for meaningful conversations:

• Invitation-only: Control who joins your community
• No metrics pressure: Focus on conversation quality, not follower counts
• Flexible privacy: Choose visibility levels that work for your group
• Rich discussions: All content formats supported within groups

We're building Dojo to be accessible everywhere:

• Web: Full-featured web application
• iOS: Native iPhone and iPad apps
• Android: Native Android application
• Desktop: Desktop applications for major operating systems

We're building with decentralization principles in mind, focusing on user control and data portability. While we're launching as a centralized platform for the best user experience, we're committed to exploring decentralized technologies that enhance privacy and user control.

Our goal is to ensure you always own your data and connections, regardless of the underlying technical architecture.

We're building Dojo with reliability and scalability as core priorities:

• Robust infrastructure: Enterprise-grade hosting and redundancy
• Regular backups: Your data is continuously backed up
• Gradual rollout: Careful, phased launch to ensure stability
• Community feedback: Active listening and rapid response to issues
