About Volk

Volk is a social network for people who want to say what they think, build things together, and talk to each other directly, on their own terms.

What we believe

• You pick your feed. For You brings up conversations worth joining: replies count for more than likes, and reported posts sink. Following is only the people you follow, newest first, with nothing ranked. Communities shows everything from the groups you're in. Switch whenever you like.
• Private means private. Direct messages and group chats are end-to-end encrypted automatically (very large groups excepted), so only the people in the chat can read them. Not even we can.
• People over platforms. We don't sell your data and we don't run tracking ads. The product is the community, not you.
• Speak freely, act decently. Argue, disagree, make your case. Just don't threaten, exploit or harass people. Our Community Guidelines are short and plain on purpose.
• Safe by default. Every photo and video is checked before it goes live, and there is zero tolerance for anything that harms children.

What you can do on Volk

• Post text, photos, videos, audio, polls and GIFs, @mention people, and join the conversation in comments.
• Start or join communities, each with its own chat rooms, member ranks and live video.
• Share stories that disappear after 24 hours.
• Go live and talk with your audience in real time.
• Message people one-on-one or in groups.
• Buy and sell in the marketplace and find or post jobs.
• Install Volk on your phone's home screen and get notifications, no app store required.

Who we are

Volk is a small, independent team. We build it because we want a place like this to exist, and it changes every week: @vex posts every update. If you have ideas, find a bug, or just want to say hi, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected].
