About Rarely

Our mission is to build a platform that values human connection, privacy, and genuine conversations over everything else. We envision Rarely as more than a tool, it's a movement towards thoughtful and meaningful connections.
Our team is dedicated to reshaping the way people connect online by placing humanity at the forefront of technology. We reject corporate greed, invasive tracking, and engagement-at-any-cost strategies. Instead, we prioritize genuine connections in a space that remains exclusive, forever.

Our Core Principles
We're not here to follow the crowd or to chase the latest trends in tech. Rarely is built with a focus on transparency, integrity, and respect for our users. We're committed to evolving the platform in ways that serve the community's best interests, not just our bottom line. Here are the core principles that guide everything we do:
A More Human Social Media
Rarely redefines online interactions. Here, likes and shares exist, but only in a way that deepens engagement. Before liking a post, you'll need to contribute your thoughts in a reply. It's about sparking conversations, not just clicking buttons. Also, we've removed follower counts and metrics that fuel unhealthy comparisons. It's all about real conversations without the loops designed to trap you in endless scrolling.
Exclusive, Forever
Rarely isn't for everyone, and that's by design. Our invite-only model ensures a high-quality community, one where your voice is heard, and your privacy is respected. This is a space for those seeking deeper conversations, away from the clutter of spam and meaningless content. While every member is thoughtfully selected, the application process is straightforward, designed to welcome those who share our vision.
No Tracking, No Ads, Forever
Your data is your own. We don't sell it, track it, or use it to target you with ads. With Rarely, you can be confident that your online interactions are private and secure. We believe your digital footprint should belong to you, not to corporations, which is why we will never compromise on your privacy.
Open Algorithms
Unlike other platforms, we believe that algorithms should serve you, not manipulate you. Our main feed is chronological by default, but we empower you to easily create custom feeds that reflect your unique interests. The days of engineered engagement are over.
Human Moderation
We don't rely on AI to moderate our platform, every interaction is overseen by real people. This ensures a safe, respectful space where members can trust that discussions will remain civil, and spam-free. Creating a space where members can trust the quality of conversation.
