# Waeris — Digital Oxygen for Kazakhstan

> Waeris (from Web + Aeris, lat. "air") is a structured social network designed for "digital detox" and high-quality human discussions. It follows a Reddit-style threaded architecture but focuses on a clean, bot-free environment for the Kazakhstan community.

## Core Mission
- Digital Detox: No algorithm-driven noise or addictive loops.
- Zero-Bot Policy: Strict manual moderation and quarantine for new accounts to ensure human-only interactions.
- High Performance: Optimized for low-bandwidth environments using WebP imagery and aggressive caching.
- Structure over Chaos: Threaded discussions instead of flat chat streams.
