Independent software is infrastructure

The people who use the software are the people who pay for it. No advertisers, no data buyers, no third party whose interests and incentives point in another direction.

We don’t compete for your attention. No infinite feeds, no streaks, no notifications designed to pull you back. The software should do its job and let you leave.

Everything you put in, you can take out. Complete, automated, in formats other software can read. Leaving should be as easy as joining. Staying should be a choice, not a trap.

Each account is held by one verified person, and no one has to reveal who they are to prove it. No bots, no troll factories. Ban someone once and they stay banned.

We build on protocols and formats that no single company owns, including us. What we make can be replaced, forked, or connected to without our permission.
