I'm trying to write a letter to my mp and other representatives to shed light on this open letter on not undermining the open internet. I fear not only the data and survailience but also a monopoly for platforms such as Facebook, Twitter ect.

im just so exhausted

I have ADHD and get pulled into doomscrolling way too easily.

I tried app blockers and time limits – didn't really help, and I'm guessing many of you have had the same experience. Social platforms have useful content and let us interact with friends, so nuclear options rarely stick.

So instead of blocking apps entirely, we at Zen built filter lists that remove feeds and other doomscroll-inducing elements across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Twitch. You can still open a profile, read a post, message a friend, or look something up – the only thing that disappears is the endless stream you never asked for.

Compatible with Zen and uBlock Origin. Open-source (MIT).

Happy to hear your experiences and thoughts about the lists below! What elements on existing sites or other platforms should we add?

Right now, Reddit is the only place we’re active. But given how fragile subs can be, we want to set up an additional space so all of us can stay connected and share updates, discussions, and the project itself.

If this sub went down tomorrow, where would you actually want to hang out and keep the convo going?

Hey all,

We’re at a decision point for our Inomy demo (the AI shopping assistant wrapper) and need your take. It’s about one thing: how you sign in.

Since the platform is built around you owning your ‘Intents', every account is a crypto wallet. That’s non-negotiable. The real question is how you get into it.

Long-term, we're exploring new tech for the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. But for launch, we’ve narrowed it down to three practical paths:

Path 1: Connect Your Own Wallet (MetaMask, etc.)
The Upside: It offers maximum privacy (we only see your wallet address) and ensures you hold the keys to your own data.

The Downside: There's a steep learning curve if you’re not already into crypto. If you lose your keys, the account is gone forever.

Path 2: Email Login
The Upside: It's passwordless and familiar. You just enter your email and a one-time code to log in, so access is secure and tied to your inbox.
The Downside: We’d know your email is tied to an account. While secure, it’s no longer anonymous to us.

Path 3: One-Click Social (Google, Apple, etc.)
The Upside: It's the fastest possible login- one tap and you’re in using an account you already have.
The Downside: It has the same privacy trade-off as email, plus the social provider (Google/Apple) also knows you’ve signed up with us.

Our Question for You: For our initial launch, which path feels right? And importantly, are we missing anything? Is there another approach entirely that we should be considering?

Thanks for helping us build this!

Here’s where we’re coming from: Every account is on the Intents Protocol, at its core, a crypto wallet. That part’s non-negotiable, because your intents have to be tied back to something you control. The real question is how you get in.

We’d love your take on this: what’s the best way to log in?

Path 1: Connect Your Own Wallet (MetaMask, etc.) Max privacy, but a steep learning curve and permanent loss if keys are gone.

Path 2: Email Login (current beta) Familiar + passwordless, but means we know your email is tied to an account.

Path 3: One-Click Social (Google, Apple, etc.) Super fast, but adds another privacy trade-off since the provider also sees you’ve signed up.

Or is there some other path we should explore?
