It isn't indifference. We miscalculate: we assume it will make them uncomfortable, and it has been measured that the opposite is true.
Someone who knows you chose this word for you. It cost one of the five they had this week.
What is this that reached me?
Someone who knows you wrote you a single word. It isn't a chain letter and it isn't marketing: no one can search for you here — you can only be reached by someone who already knows you.
What happens if I accept?
The word becomes yours, and a link with that person begins. Nothing else: no one is notified, nothing is published, you take on no debt. If there was a witness, you're told before you decide, by name.
What will you ask me for?
An email, what you go by, and your date of birth. Nothing else. No password, no phone number, no access to your contacts.
Will you follow me around?
No advertising and no trackers. Two emails are possible and one of them can be turned off. The privacy policy is one click away and two minutes long.
Why would I want this?
Because over time your profile becomes something that exists nowhere else: the record of how your people see you, written by them.
Some words only mean something between two people.nouxes is made of those.
Nous is Greek for mind. X is where two things cross. Nouxes: minds, connected.
It's the crossing that appears when two people have given each other something. Nothing marks it, nothing awards it: it exists while it passes, and then the two of them are linked.

Five spaces a week. They don't add up: what you don't use is lost.
One word for someone, and the domain you're valuing them in. It costs a space.
They decide whether to accept it or let it pass. If they let it pass, nothing happens and your space comes back.
Name a witness and it costs two. The witness finds out only if it was accepted, sees the word once, and doesn't keep it.
What's accepted goes into a private archive only the receiver opens. Whoever wrote it stops seeing it.
No number, no ranking, no public wall, and you can't search for people. You reach someone because you already know them.
seven domains — craft · help · teaching · humour · decency · backing · judgement
Not because they're missing. Because each one of them destroys what this place keeps.
Words written by people who know you, kept for as long as you want to come back to them.
Think of one person. You already know the word.
Come in, think of one person, and tell them what they're worth.
