Project Goals
Own Your Algorithm
Your data belongs to you, your experiance of this app belongs to you, choose what/who/how you interact with different sources. Content-feed algorithms method of selection is explained, and algorithms can be configued and swapped by users.
App Controlled by Users
This application belongs to its users; any data collection, advertising, or monitization is opt-in and the apps code open sourced. The content shown to you can be configured to fit individual desires, and be an unbiased display program.
Stop Enshittification
By being open sourced, user controlled, and decentrally hosted, this is not a product that will be sold to you in one way then slowly made worse for profits.
Cross-platform Social Media Manager
Access messages, view content, and make posts across a variety of social media platforms through the app. Control how you interact with these platforms and aggregate content into one feed.
Encrypted Messaging WITH Transparent Implementation
While most chat apps provide encryption, you must trust the app's owner to implement it correctly and not silently monitor your communication themselves. This project and its distribution are open source proving d-chat's never stealing your data.
