Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Social media is broken by design. Algorithms maximize engagement, not enjoyment. Anonymous accounts harass without consequence. Your data gets sold to advertisers. Creators get a fraction of the revenue their work generates. None of this is accidental. It's the business model. Toggles replaces it. Every member verifies with a real ID and stands behind their words. You control your feed by setting content categories to Off, On, or Max. Politics off, it's gone. Science on max, it's at the top. No ads, no investors, no data extraction. The platform is structured as a cooperative where revenue beyond operating costs goes back to creators and governance transitions to the community over time. I built toggles with claude code. It's live at toggles.cc
