Blybahn: social media made social again!
As tech developers, we know exactly how social media works. As parents, we’re concerned about it. Blybahn was born out of that dual perspective.

Social media has been deliberately designed to be addictive, and more and more often, algorithms from abroad determine what we see, read, and believe. Banning it won’t solve the problem; the need to share and belong is simply human nature. What we need is a European alternative.
That’s why Blybahn does things differently:
- Blybahn Groups: your own private circle, instantly fun with just a handful of people
- Blybahn Stickies: handwritten or hand-drawn notes instead of likes
- A finite feed that stops, so scrolling never goes on forever
- Built in Leiden, on European systems, ISO 27001 certified, ad-free, and no data trading
Social media as it was meant to be: real moments with real people. Check out the case study: https://lnkd.in/eprpb6Ym
