FAQ

What is Monnett?

Monnett is a social network made in Europe.
On Monnett you are not a ‘user’, you’re a human being hosted in a digital space.

What makes Monnett different from other social media platforms?

Monnett gives people complete algorithm control so that each person decides what is shown on their feed, that means people decide to see updates from their friends, accounts they follow and recommendations based on their settings, no addictive, casino-like algorithms.

Monnett protects people’s privacy by design. Monnett does NOT track your experience while you are present on the network. Monnett does NOT create psychological profiles based on your time on the app and your interactions to then serve you with hypertargeted surveillance-based advertising.
Monnett is far more environmentally friendly than our competitors, by reducing data collection on interactions, multiple hosting of your information and advanced toolings.
