ThisCussion is the European alternative to legacy social media.
Built for signal over noise, for real dialogue over algorithmic outrage.
We combine strong authentication and verified identities to create a trusted environment where people are accountable for what they say and do.
No bots. No burner accounts. No fraudulent ads disguised as content.
By design, ThisCussion prioritises authenticity, transparency, and meaningful exchange. A European platform for serious conversation without the distortions of legacy social media.

Friends, look at what we have today. We have these giant, closed silos where you are the product, not the user. It’s boring. It’s old. It’s broken. When we started Slush, people said you couldn’t build a world-class startup event in the middle of a dark Finnish winter. When we did Angry Birds, they said a mobile game couldn’t be a global brand. They were wrong. And they’re wrong about social media.
We are building the Finest Network.

Social media can inform and build community. Current big players, unfortunately, have become arenas for anger, misinformation, and polarisation. We need a more responsible alternative!
