It is a centralized social networking service created by a developer who likes decentralized social networks. It takes advantage of the benefits of a centralized system, while also learning from the good points of Fediverse, and has studied Misskey closely and incorporated its functions. One of the most notable features is "Emoteki," which allows you to express emotional text with emoji reactions, which are popular on Discord, as well as text color, size, background, animation, and more.

Registration is by invitation only.

*1 This is a joke that when read in reverse in Japanese, it becomes Mi-Ku-Shi-i (the pronunciation of mixi).

@noellabo What underlying benefits of a decentralized system does it have, other than some UI bits?

@PunishedD They have learned well that people want to be able to control the scope of their content, how it is used, and what flows on their timeline.

They have restrained themselves from the elements that they tend to impose as a platform provider, and have successfully reproduced the user experience that can be obtained in a decentralized system.

Unfortunately, however, because it is inherently centralized, mixi2 does not obtain the fundamental advantages of a decentralized system. It only partially reproduces them.

@noellabo @PunishedD Does Mixi2 discourage the kind of social ills and maladaptive behaviours that have ruined the west?

@YTFoidLover1488 @PunishedD It's written in Japanese, but the article on prohibited items may be helpful. (You probably can't read it. Please read it in machine translation.)

Also, here are my impressions. I feel that it's designed to suppress things, not to incite them. It's closed, and doesn't cover all social activities, but it looks like it's going to be a relaxing SNS where you can have fun.
