Built for WBSers
WBS was rebuilt around the things that made it different in the first place: Handles, rooms, conversation and community.
- No followers, likes, feeds or algorithms deciding what you should see
- No mobile-first redesign: WBS remains a desktop web experience
- Handles remain separate from your account identity, allowing you to create and customize different chat personas
- Room conversations remain the center of WBS instead of profiles and content feeds
- Designed to feel familiar to former WBS users while running on an entirely rebuilt modern platform
