As someone who loved OneNote, I love this. The way you wrote your About, Privacy, and Roadmap is unordinary and refreshing. Excited to see where this goes. Big Ups.
Facebook's real product isn't connecting people; it's redefining what human connection means. They proved emotional states transfer via algorithmic contagion¹, then industrialized it.
Graph Search could find anyone based on intimate details, but felt too predatory. So they embedded the same targeting into every interaction; News Feed, Groups, PYMK-recommendations. Same data harvesting, and behavioral influence with an invisible delivery. The brilliance was introducing Groups. It felt like organic community building, and it keeps enough people on Facebook for them to sell ads.
Two generations now think algorithmic feeds and sharing memes counts as socializing. Why predict and connect when you can nudge and influence?
TL;DR: "I'm disappointed that tech leaders prioritize their own interests and success over my political preferences. I'm now homeless because I mistook the map for the territory. Anyway, Portugal seems nice."
I use .md files. I've tried everything, your words feel like a question I once had. Reframe the problem; setup a system. Then commit. Incremental improvements will happen automatically. Do more with less.

"Truth" isn't some objective data blob you can measure. Feels like you're talking about entropy and epistemology in some sense. Feels like you have no idea what you're talking about; you don't like what you see and want to change it. In another way, you're trying to grasp the concepts of incentives, social networks, and proof of signal...but again, you didn't define anything, so the idea is just noise. Keep reading and stay hungry.

If this is instant help-it must be trustless help; you either know this person or...deal with liability. Your mentioning of Car tells me you don't assume a majority of people have roadside assistance. I assume you're searching for a problem to solve?
You focus heavily on speed can you enlighten me and let me understand why?
> ...discover and connect with real people, in real-time, wherever you are
Reading the initial introduction made be press back. Bells went off in my head. I must say that your focus on socializing is what made me first click; maybe try something local, group-social, and not so intimate?
