Purpose-driven design
Religious communities are not built for viral engagement. They are built for continuity, stability,
and shared belief. A platform that serves such a community must reflect that purpose.
Core characteristics
- Identity-based membership rather than anonymous participation.
- Moderation with accountability rather than open, algorithm-driven reach.
- Structured communication focused on announcements and coordination.
- Privacy protections to prevent impersonation and harassment.
Why public platforms fall short
Large public networks prioritize scale and engagement metrics. This often leads to:
- Exposure to trolls and impersonators.
- Spam and coordinated disruption.
- Algorithmic amplification of conflict.
What a religious platform should prioritize
- Verification and approval processes.
- Clear community standards and enforcement.
- Controlled visibility of sensitive information.
- Stable infrastructure focused on trust over growth.
Application to MyINC Social
MyINC Social is structured as a private, moderated environment to reduce impersonation,
increase accountability, and protect members from external disruption.
Its design reflects the specific needs of a faith-based community rather than
the incentives of mainstream social networks.
