The goal here is to separate raw catalog facts from the sharper product shape users care about before they commit time.

About

Misskey is a decentralized platform designed for creating and managing microblogging instances. It allows server owners to set up their own instances, which can then communicate with each other seamlessly. This makes it ideal for large communities, small groups, fandoms, subcultures, or even just individual users and their friends. By hosting your own instance, you can maintain control over your data and avoid surveillance from large corporations. Misskey is built around the principles of community and sharing, rather than corporate interests. Additionally, because Misskey operates on the Fediverse (ActivityPub), you can interact with users on other platforms like Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube, and more. Misskey is a non-profit project supported by user donations. Its development is driven by the community, ensuring that it remains free from corporate influence and focused on user needs.
