Is it open-source? Is it based on open protocols? Does it support federation?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then your product is irrelevant.

It's nothing personal. It's just that I'm sick and tired of centralized solutions running on somebody else's computers. At least this product makes its business model clear (a $2/month subscription fee for interacting).

But hey, I'm a guy who used to run phpBB forums on a Pentium 1 under my bed 20 years ago. Back then there were tons of those forums, most of us didn't ask users for any subscription money, there was no centralized gatekeeper, and everybody was happy. All of us used to curate our own small gardens and the model was sustainable at all levels.

Can I just get that back, with some federation protocols on top to allow multi-instance interactions? Seriously, everything else is pointless, it's a waste of time, and it doesn't make the digital world any better. I won't jump from a centralized platform to another, and probably nobody should.
