No tracking.

No investors.There's nobody to sell your attention to and nobody asking for growth at all costs. The flagship runs on donations.Leave whenever you like.Export your data, move your account to another server or to your own box, and your followers follow you there.If we vanish, the code doesn't.AGPL-3.0 means anyone can run it, fork it and keep it going. Nothing is held hostage on a single company server.Private when you need it.Servers can turn on end-to-end encryption, so even the person running the server cannot read the messages.[how privacy and encryption work][read the code]git log --releasesy4my4my4m/harmony9 in the openMade by people, in public.Harmony is an independent project. No company, no venture money, no growth team. Just people who wanted a better place to hang out, building it where everyone can watch, file bugs and send patches.10 say hiCome hang out.The official server is where people ask questions, share what they built and tell us what is broken. Bring your friends, or bring your whole community.
