Social media, done differently.
We built Gander to put people and not algorithms back at the heart of the conversation.
Human Check
Know you're (probably) talking to a person.
Human Check verifies that members are adult humans before they can post, comment, or chat. It's one-time, privacy-first, and designed to keep bots and fake accounts from taking over the conversation.
- Browse freely before verifying
- One-time Human Check
- ID verification via Canada Post Identity+ app
- Institutional email option available
- Helps keep out bots, bad actors, and kids
Publisher Reputation
See where your news comes from.
Not all headlines deserve equal trust. Gander shows you political leanings, fact-checking, and publisher reputation, so you can decide for yourself.
- Know where publishers stand
- See credibility at a glance
- Separate news from noise
Feeds
Take control of your feeds.
We prefer options: multiple feeds, real controls, and content sorted chronologically... or around active conversation. Popularity contests aren't really our thing.
- Multiple feeds, your way
- Conversation before clicks
- Stay close to home or open up to the world
Nests
Keep tabs on friends, faves, and frenemies.
Think of your Nest as your inner circle: a private place for the folks you never want to miss no matter what’s going on in your feeds.
- Focus on the people that matter to you
- Never miss a post
Flicks
Scroll without the addiction.
All the recipes, cats, comedy, fits of the day, and hockey, without hijacking your brain. A video feed designed to leave you smiling, not wondering where your afternoon went.
- No dopamine rollercoasters
- Discover creators and friends, not just influencers
- Built for curiosity, not compulsion
