Private social network

Private Social Network

Safegram is a private social network built on four hard defaults: verified identity, end-to-end encrypted DMs, a chronological feed free of behavioural ads, and EU data residency. It's a real alternative to Instagram, Threads, and BlueSky for people who want a smaller, safer place to post, message, and buy or sell — without a surveillance ad model.

What makes a social network actually private

A truly private social network gets four things right at the same time. Real accounts (so you interact with verified people, not bots), encrypted messaging (so DMs stay between you and the recipient), no behavioural ad targeting (so your activity isn't sold to advertisers), and EU-hosted data with a one-tap export. Safegram treats those as defaults, not paid add-ons.

  • Verified identity on every profile
  • End-to-end encrypted direct messages
  • No behavioural ad network
  • EU data residency and one-tap export

A privacy-first feed, not an ad feed

Instagram and Threads exist to keep you scrolling ads. Safegram's feed is chronological by default, ad-free for minors, and never rearranged by a black-box engagement model. Read more on our privacy-first social media page.

End-to-end encrypted messaging

Every direct message on Safegram is end-to-end encrypted on-device. No plaintext copies live on our servers, and message contents are never used for ad targeting. See the end-to-end encrypted chat page for the technical detail.

Trust, safety, and moderation

A private social network still needs safety. Safegram combines in-app reporting, AI-assisted moderation and prioritised child-safety review — under our published Child Safety Standards Policy and the wider Trust & Safety approach. Younger accounts get stricter defaults; parents get transparency, not spyware.

Verified people, not bots

Every seller and every creator can complete a one-time identity verification. The Peacemaker Ring makes verification visible at a glance, so you know who you're talking to before you send a message or a payment.

Who Safegram is for

Creators who want a smaller, higher-trust audience. Families who want a safer place for teens. Buyers and sellers who are tired of Marketplace scams. If you're looking for an Instagram alternative that puts privacy first without giving up posts, stories, and DMs, this is it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a private social network?

A private social network is one built around identity, encryption and consent — not ad targeting. In practice that means verified accounts, end-to-end encrypted DMs, no behavioural ad tracking, and clear data-residency and export controls.

Is Safegram a truly private social network?

Yes. Safegram runs no behavioural ad network, encrypts every DM end-to-end, hosts data in the EU, and lets you export it in one tap. Every seller and creator goes through identity verification before they can list or monetise.

How is Safegram different from Instagram, Threads, or BlueSky?

Instagram and Threads share Meta's ad infrastructure and unencrypted DMs. BlueSky drops the ad model but doesn't ship encrypted DMs, verified identity, or a trusted marketplace. Safegram combines all four.

Are DMs really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes. Messages are encrypted on your device with keys that never leave it, and decrypted on the recipient's device. Safegram cannot read message contents on the server.

Where is my data stored?

In the EU, under GDPR. You can export your data in one tap from the Privacy settings, and delete your account at any time.
