Absolutely Incredible

Sovereign computing that just works. I think i’m going to try and run my own but right now i’m just letting them host me. They have openclaw on it now too.

Basically decentralized whatsapp meets slack

The app seems to get better consistently. Your data resides on your own “server” so there are no middle men sitting in between your messages with friends / colleagues (a la whatsapp/slack etc…). Hugely supportive and enthusiastic about the future here - truly an n of 1 concept.

I only want to touch Lindy.

It’s a computer you can fix like a truck.

No ads, pure networking

Tlon gives you the keys to a peer-to-peer network with no ads or data-mining middlemen, a basic set of tools to communicate with others, and a space to call your own. It’s refreshingly calm and centering to live your life online and not be sold anything in the process.

A truly private messaging experience

This is the only app that lets me own my data and prevents someone from sitting in the middle
