A digital town square, not a profile factory
Stancio is an anonymous social space built around short-lived rooms and a live consensus map. You do not create a profile, you do not collect followers, and you are not optimising a personal brand. You simply drop into a room, watch the collective mood move, and, if you want, add your own voice.
- No identity: no usernames to defend across the internet.
- No feeds, no algorithm: you choose a room instead of being pulled into an infinite scroll.
- No advertising: no engagement hacks, no tracking.
- No follower counts: conversations, not audiences.
How a room works
Rooms are small, temporary spaces around a single question or topic. When you join, you receive a random pseudonym like “Blue Sparrow” or “Quiet Pine”. You can first spectate – read the chat and see the consensus map update – and only later choose to participate.
- Pick a topic from the home page or create your own.
- Enter as a spectator and watch messages and the map in real time.
- Click “Join room” to get a pseudonym and start posting.
- When the room goes quiet, it eventually disappears.
The consensus map
Every message carries a simple mood and stance. The map places the conversation into a two‑dimensional space:
- Horizontal axis: agreement ↔ disagreement.
- Vertical axis: calm ↔ heated; neutral ↔ curious ↔ positive ↔ negative.
Instead of scrolling through hundreds of takes, you can see at a glance where the room is leaning, where tension builds, and whether curiosity is still alive.
