Comm Messenger vs Ethos Social

- In Comm, each community is hosted on somebody's keyserver. - You can set up a keyserver on your laptop or in the cloud. - Comm won't host your keyserver for you. (We don't want to have access to your data!) - You don't need a keyserver to join a community, but you do need one to create a community. Keyservers enable us to offer the sort of sophisticated feature set that typically relies on corporate servers on the cloud, without sacrificing the privacy of our users. - Each community on Comm contains a tree structure of chat threads. Our threads are sort of like channels in Discord, but they can be nested inside each other. - Comm supports "sidebars", which are sort of like threads in Slack. Sidebars are created in response to a message in a parent thread. - Along with the default chat functionality, Comm also supports a library of apps to customize your community. We're launching with a Calendar app, and have more apps in the pipeline!

Your identity, verified once and reusable everywhere Ethos is accepted. Complete one check in under 30 seconds, then use your Ethos ID to get through the door, clear an age check, or sign in. No re-verifying at every business. No uploading your license again and again. Verify Once: Scan a government ID or passport, confirm it's you with a quick biometric check, and you're verified. Returning users are one tap and a biometric. You approve what's shared: Every request shows exactly what a business is asking for, and nothing is sent until you approve it. One scan instead of three: At venues and events, one scan of your Ethos entry pass confirms your ticket, your age, and your identity together. Everything in one place: Your verified credentials, your entry passes, and every verification from the last seven days. Backed by government data: Ethos verifies against authoritative government sources, and verification status stays current.
