About StupidBookFace

🦇 What is this place?

StupidBookFace is an anti-social network - a deliberate inversion of everything that makes traditional social media addictive, permanent, and soul-crushing. Think of it as a digital graveyard where your thoughts come to rot.

👻 The Core Philosophy

While other platforms desperately cling to your data forever, we embrace digital decay. Your posts automatically deteriorate over time, becoming increasingly corrupted until they're barely readable. Nothing here is permanent. Nothing here lasts. And that's the point.

🧛 How It Works

Three Levels of Commitment (or Lack Thereof):

• Blob - Anonymous and ephemeral. Get a random horror name, post whatever, disappear.
• Semi-Stable - Pick your own cursed username, but still no password. Your identity will decay eventually.
• Overly Attached - Full registration with password. For those who insist on haunting this place forever.

Anti-Features:

• No Likes - Express your disdain with delightfully morbid emotions instead
• 666 Character Limit - Forces brevity and prevents endless rambling
• Auto-Rot - All content decays over time, becoming progressively more corrupted
• No Algorithms - Posts appear chronologically, like the old internet intended
• No Analytics - We don't track you, study you, or sell you to advertisers

🎭 The Aesthetic

Yes, we have a gothic horror theme because it's fun and reflects our cynical view of digital existence. But you don't have to roleplay or post spooky content - complain about your coffee, share cat photos, rant about politics, whatever. The horror aesthetic is just our personality, not a content requirement.

🔮 Why This Exists

This is simultaneously:

• Art Project - An experiment in digital impermanence and anti-design
• Social Commentary - A critique of surveillance capitalism and engagement addiction
• Alternative Platform - Actually usable social media without the psychological manipulation
• Elaborate Joke - Because sometimes you have to laugh at the absurdity of it all

⚰️ Technical Notes

Built with intentionally simple technology. No JavaScript frameworks, no cloud dependencies, no venture capital. Just PHP, SQLite, and spite. Open source, self-hostable, and designed to outlast the social media giants by being too weird to acquire.

🪦 Final Warning

This platform is for adults (18+) who understand that the internet used to be weird and want to keep some of that energy alive. Expect profanity, dark humor, and existential dread. If you're looking for a safe space or algorithm-curated content, Facebook is probably still running.
