It is one of the latest Twitter-like social networking services, and aims to return to its roots and "deepen relationships with people you are connected to and want to connect with," featuring a chronological timeline based on followers, short message posts of 149.3 characters*1, public communities, events, and more. To use it, you need the official iPhone or Android app.

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).
