Aether

What is Aether?

Aether is a decentralized, peer-to-peer platform that enables the creation of self-governing online communities with transparent moderation and democratic processes. Unlike traditional social media platforms, Aether operates without centralized servers, ensuring enhanced privacy and user control.

Highlights

• Ephemeral public communities
• Posts are automatically deleted after 6 months by default, encouraging users to engage thoughtfully and let go of past discussions
• Auditable moderation
• All moderation actions are visible to users, fostering accountability and allowing the community to collectively oversee the moderators
• Democratic mod elections
• Community members can elect and impeach moderators through voting, ensuring the leadership reflects the will of the users
• Privacy-sensitive design
• The peer-to-peer architecture prevents the easy identification of users' source IP addresses, protecting their anonymity.
