Orbit

Purpose: social presence. Orbit is the social layer of the Dopler ecosystem: identity, feeds, follows, discovery, conversation and connection across Orbit itself and the networks people already use.

Why it exists

Social media is fragmented into separate platforms, each with its own feed, graph and incentives. People should not have to rebuild their relationships on every network or accept ranking systems optimized primarily for platform retention. Orbit is designed as a first-class social experience without requiring people to abandon the networks where their communities already exist.

Role in the system

Orbit understands people and their social presence. One person can map to several network identities. Duplicate cross-posts can collapse into one canonical object. Feeds can prefer people you deliberately follow, suppress low-value AI slop and engagement bait, and use ranking rules that are transparent and aligned with the user. Existing networks remain useful distribution channels. Where APIs allow it, an interaction in Orbit can support the same creator across those channels instead of treating every copy as a separate world. Aveiro can remain aware of the social presence created by owned content, while Chirio handles the network-specific transport underneath.

In one sentence

Orbit makes the social web feel like one network that works for the people using it.
