It's hard to believe you might ever love an app more than Instagram, but be open-minded for a sec: Hyper, a new app from Brooklyn, New York-based developer Dan Frieber, is a photo-sharing app modeled after Instagram and Reddit — minus the aspects that allow people to be trolls,Think Progress reports.

Hyper is different because there is no profile attached to your username. That means you can't have followers and people who want to troll you can't see all your photos in one place. Frieber explained to Think Progress why that is so important:

If you look at the social networks that dominate that sphere, they're all follower based. And that's fine for people who want to build audiences around their content. But they become the same audience. Do people want to let the content speak for itself or do people want to engage with the content more than the people? [If users post embarrassing content,] They don't have to attach this to an intimate profile, they don't have to worry about friends or family seeing it.

From there, the app takes you to trending hashtags (I chose to explore #sexy, because...). When you click into the hashtags, you can see any photo that's posted there, give it an up or down vote, and upload your own photo under that hashtag if you want. You can add text to and change the size of the photos you're posting.

It's sad that there's a need for apps that are specifically designed to discourage bullying, but if that's what it takes, let's do it! If you need me, I'll be in a Hyper hole giving up votes to all those who deserve them.
