We Don't Do Social Media
Roundup Mail was created to enable connections with people that are important to you, whether that's co-workers, friends from school, or your family back home. We want to practice what we preach: if we believe newsletters are better than social media for meaningful connections, we should use them ourselves rather than maintaining social profiles.
We're Taking a Stand
By not having social media profiles, we're making a statement about digital wellbeing. We believe:
- Your attention is valuable and shouldn't be manipulated
- Meaningful connection happens through thoughtful updates, not likes and comments
- Privacy matters more than engagement metrics
- Quality of interaction trumps quantity
The Social Media Problem
- ✖Endless Scrolling: Designed to keep you watching, not catch you up
- ✖Addictive by Design: Notifications and feeds engineered to trigger dopamine
- ✖Privacy Concerns: Your personal data sold to advertisers
- ✖FOMO & Anxiety: Constant comparison leading to mental health issues
- ✖Low-Quality Interactions: Superficial engagement instead of real connection
Roundup Mail Newsletters
- ✓Meaningful Updates: Quality over quantity in your inbox
- ✓No Algorithms: See everything from your friends/colleagues/community, not what an algorithm decides
- ✓Privacy Respected: Your data stays yours, period
- ✓Intentional Connection: Thoughtful updates instead of mindless scrolling
- ✓Your Time Back: All updates at once, as a nice end to the week.

Frequently Asked Questions
But how can I follow you on social media?
You can't, and that's intentional! Instead of following us on social media, make a newsletter for your community. We practice what we preach.
Aren't you missing out on potential users by not being on social?
Perhaps, but we believe in growing through quality and word-of-mouth rather than aggressive social media marketing. Our users appreciate that we're committed to our principles about digital wellbeing.
How do I share Roundup Mail with my friends without social?
The old-fashioned way: tell them about it directly! Forward them an existing Roundup Mail (or mention it next time you see them). Quality connections don't need a "share" button.
