Why We Use Circles

I really don’t like what social networks have become. They decide what to show you, who you talk to, and what to care about. That’s not connection — that’s manipulation dressed up as community. So I built Elonara to work differently.

Elonara doesn’t have an algorithm that ranks or filters your feed. It has circles. Circles are simple, predictable, and human. They work the way conversations work in real life: you talk to people, and those people become part of your world.

When you join a conversation on Elonara, everyone in that space becomes part of your inner circle, and you become part of theirs. From there, relationships expand naturally. Your trusted circle includes the people your inner circle talks to. Your extended circle includes everyone one step further out. Each degree of separation reflects proximity, not popularity.

That’s how visibility works here. When you see something, it’s because it came from someone connected to you — directly or through a few others. The system follows the structure of conversation itself. It doesn’t decide what you should see; it reflects where you’ve chosen to be.

Communities, events, and conversations form the backbone of Elonara. They create places where people gather around purpose instead of performance. Every connection begins through participation, not prediction. You meet people by showing up.

This design means we never have to calculate your attention. The network grows from the way people actually interact, not from how long they stare at a screen.

Elonara is built to bring social networking back to human scale. When you talk, you connect. When you connect, your circle grows. That’s the entire system — and it’s enough.
