For those of you not familiar with Imzy, while Voat was a place where Redditors went because they thought Reddit was too much of a hugbox, Imzy is where Redditors went because they thought Reddit wasn't enough of a hugbox. Yes, seriously.
I feel relatively confident that nobody who posts here has ever stepped foot in Imzy, but feel free to post your treasured memories of a social media hugbox site that was open for about 6 months.
Hello everyone,
We are sorry to say that after nearly two years of building Imzy, it is time for us to shut down the site.
Some of you have been here since our launch into beta and some are brand new. We’ve loved getting to know all of you and seeing you build communities and make new friends. Unfortunately, we were not able to find our place in the market. We still feel that the internet deserves better and hope that we see more teams take on this challenge in the future.
Our final day of operation will be June 23rd. We want to give you time to gather any content you’ve made and exchange contact information with friends. If you have a new home for your community, I recommend creating a pinned post directing members there.
You might be wondering what’s going to happen to your data now. Well, nothing. We have always valued your privacy and we will continue to do so. You can request your data here.
The /Imzy community will open to allow everyone to post. This seems like a good place for us to gather, share memories, and say our goodbyes.
Thanks for spending your time with us. We’re really going to miss this place.
Dan
