Orbly: A new social platform that lets you speak your mind

Orbly is a new social platform built around the idea “Speak your mind — the platform won’t tell you what to think.” Users can share opinions, criticism and humor, and the platform stresses that it doesn’t dictate what they say.

Orbly is available on mobile through Google Play and the App Store. Sign-up and log-in are available at orbly.social.

One of the ideas Orbly puts forward is that control over your feed stays with you: muting and blocking are in the user’s hands. The platform also says it does not carry out “hidden takedowns”, and it publishes a moderation log page to back that claim up.

Beyond written posts, Orbly offers Spaces and live broadcasts, so a topic is not limited to posts and can also be discussed in real time.

Orbly provides a “Creator kit” with ready-made announcement copy for content creators. The platform also says that users whose accounts were restricted elsewhere can get a fresh start there.

The Terms of Service, Privacy policy and KVKK notice are available as separate pages on the site.
