TORONTO - s4story -- As global social platforms spiral into chaos and controversy, a new social media app called Parlon (French for "Let's chat") is quietly gaining momentum in Canada — offering a uniquely Canadian space for real conversations, respectful debate, and local content.

Built by Canadian developer Jeremy Thompson, Parlon is a modern microblogging platform that embraces the original spirit of Twitter - short, punchy posts, chronological feeds, and authentic community, while removing the parts that have driven users away: bots, algorithmic manipulation, billionaire drama, and foreign influence.

"Parlon is designed by Canadians, for Canadians," says Thompson. "It's not about going viral. It's about being real. We want to bring back social media that feels social — and actually Canadian."

❄️ What Makes Parlon Different?

• Canadians Only: Verified by email and IP to foster a uniquely Canadian space.
• No Bots: AI and manual moderation keep conversations human.
• No Billionaire Algorithms: The feed is chronological — no ragebait, no manipulation.
• Short & Respectful: Posts are limited in length, promoting concise, thoughtful dialogue.
• Local Voices First: From poutine memes to prairie politics, Parlon puts Canada at the center.

Launched in July 2025, Parlon is already gaining traction in tech circles, meme communities, and news junkies who are tired of U.S.-dominated platforms. The app's early users include journalists, students, indie creators, and civic-minded Canadians looking for a healthier online space.

"Social media should be a public square, not a casino," Thompson says. "We're building something slower, smaller, and more human — and we think that's what Canada needs right now."
