Tal Canal is a Portuguese social networking site where users can share content, such as links, text, images, and videos, which other users can vote on and comment on. The content is posted in user-created communities called "Canais" (Portuguese for channels), which are centered around a topic. It's similar to Reddit in its use and features.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Besides the communities there are other features, such as games, a news aggregator, chat rooms, and a chatbot.

History

Tal Canal was created by Tânia Carvalho and André Santos, who together form the company "Icónica – Digital Design". The social network was launched in April 2022.[5]

The name of the social network was inspired by the Portuguese television programme "O Tal Canal", created by Herman José and broadcast by RTP.

Overview

Canais

A user shares content by posting it in the communities called "canais", where other users will vote and comment on it. The "canais" focus on a particular topic, with the users being able to choice which "canais" they wish to see, and also being able to create one.

The posts are voted with positive and negative votes, with the balance of the votes being called "carma". A user with a negative "carma" may have their posts and comments rejected depending on the "canais".
