In August 2025, Meta banned JJ Johnson from Facebook with a false accusation while he was exploring a run for Florida governor. He lost access to 74,000 followers overnight. Meta kept $1,420 in earnings it owed him. No appeal. No explanation.
He built Skrrl.com.
Skrrl is a text-only social network with no algorithm, no advertisers, and no investors. Posts appear in chronological order — the order they were written, nothing more. There is no engagement optimization, no outrage algorithm, no invisible system deciding which posts reach your followers and which don't.
The platform has three rules: no algorithm, no ads, no censorship. Content policy is simple — no illegal content. Everything else stands.
Text only by design. Images and video are powerful tools for manipulation. Words require thought to write and to read. Skrrl limits posts to 1,000 characters and nothing else.
There are no political advertisers to placate. No regulators to pre-empt. No moderation queue deciding your reach. No billionaire deciding whose voice matters.
The platform that censored JJ Johnson had 250 million views of his content before the ban. Skrrl was built so that number never goes to zero again at someone else's discretion.
Skrrl is free to join at skrrl.com. No credit card required.
Skrrl is a product of AMILLI AI, Corp., founded by JJ Johnson. NewsOnScale is owned by AMILLI AI, Corp.
