The network has even tripled its number of users since the beginning of 2022. This helps better manage discussions to avoid hateful content - another concept that appeals to the younger generation. To enter these groups, users must answer a questionnaire before being allowed to join. And, here again, the platform ensures moderation. And this vision appeals to Generation Z, a generation fond of communities, mutual support and cooperation. Plus, broadcast rooms let users go live on video with up to nine people on stage and thousands of viewers to call on-air.Īs far as moderation is concerned, Geneva requires a phone number to register, which helps makes it easier to clamp down on the internet’s notorious trolls and banish them if a problem arises.įinally, the “Explore” page gives users the option of joining “Homes,” groups dedicated to a community, a topic or a cause, for example, where they can join the conversation and interact with other users.
This offers a way of bringing people together and keeping in touch with friends. The platform lets users create communities according to their locations and interests, for example. Private messages are also possible on Geneva, and users can set up a calendar, which can include both invitations and reminders. Like on Twitter, users can mention others using the sign followed by their username, reply with a “thread,” add files, launch polls, pin content and react with emojis. These “rooms” can be either public or private.
Users set up their “Home,” a home page with various “rooms,” or groups dedicated to particular topics. Geneva offers written posts in forum-style rooms like on Reddit, as well as video, audio and written chat functions. “More organised than GroupMe, more private than Facebook, and more fun than Slack,” reads the social network’s website.
