Stop the moment.
Feel the depth.

Birka is a "slow" format social network created for those tired of information noise and superficial interactions. Here, communication quality takes priority over content quantity. Instead of an endless stream of posts, you'll find meaningful thoughts, deep discussions, and genuine communication. Birka is a space where every word matters, and every thought receives proper attention.

The one-post limit isn't a restriction—it's freedom from the pressure of constant activity. It gives you time to think about what's truly worth sharing with the world. You focus on quality, not quantity. Research shows that limitations stimulate creativity and encourage deeper reflection. Plus, you can always use Golden Tokens for exceptional situations when you simply can't help but share something important.

Golden Tokens are a reward for your contribution to the community. You earn them through high activity (creating quality posts, active discussions), receiving stars from other users (meaning your thought helped or inspired someone), or reaching new Aura levels (your progress in the community). It's a fair system where your influence and support of others returns to you as an opportunity to share what's truly important when such a need arises.

Aura is a reputation system that visually reflects the quality and impact of your publications. Start as Neutral and grow to Radiant by creating quality content and supporting others. Your Aura grows not from the number of posts, but from their significance to the community. This motivates you to write not "just to write," but "to share something valuable." A brighter Aura opens additional opportunities and recognition in the community.

Each user has 3 stars per day—this limitation makes your choice valuable. Stars can only be given to authors of the best posts, those that truly touched or helped you. It's not just a "like," but recognition of another person's thought value. The star system creates a quality culture: users write more carefully, knowing that each star is genuine recognition. Your stars accumulate, increasing your Aura and opening the possibility to earn Golden Tokens.

Your privacy is our priority. You have full control over who sees your publications. We don't collect unnecessary data, don't sell information to third parties, and comply with GDPR principles. For complete anonymity, there's the Ink space, where your posts aren't linked to your profile. We created Birka as a safe place for genuine thoughts, so protecting your privacy isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of our platform.

Daily Pulse is a daily collective topic that unites the entire community for 24 hours. Users vote for the most interesting topic, which becomes the center of discussion. This provides an opportunity to hear different perspectives on one question, see how other people view the world, and find common ground with those who think differently. Daily Pulse helps discover new topics for reflection and creates genuine dialogue, not monologues of individual posts.

Yes, absolutely. You can always delete your account in settings. We understand that needs change and respect your choice. Upon deletion, all your data is completely removed from our servers according to our privacy policy. Birka is a tool that should serve you, not the other way around. If it stops being useful, you can always stop using it.
