## What is Surikata?

CREATE AND JOIN GUILDS
Build your own communities, called Guilds. Each one has its own real-time IRC chat, members, and a custodian elected by the community. Public or private, the choice is yours.

REAL-TIME IRC CHAT
Every Guild includes a built-in IRC-style chat: fast, lightweight, and always active. Enjoy real conversations without the noise.

WRITE AND SHARE
Publish posts with a rich text editor. Add photos, create polls, and embed memes and GIFs. Express yourself your way.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose from 7 built-in themes: Paper, Dark, Ocean, Forest, Nord, Dracula, and Sunset, or create your own custom theme from scratch with full color control.

STAY NOTIFIED
Receive push notifications for likes, comments, replies, follows, and Guild activity. Decide exactly which notifications you want in your settings.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your email is encrypted. No tracking. No ads. No algorithm deciding what you see. Your feed stays chronological and transparent.

PREMIUM OPTIONS
Support the platform with optional Premium subscriptions that unlock extra features and customization options. Payments are handled securely through Stripe.

BUILT INDEPENDENTLY
Surikata is built by a small independent team that believes social platforms should serve their users, not advertisers.
