About:
Aether is a decentralized, peer-to-peer platform for creating and participating in ephemeral public forums. It operates without central servers, using a distributed network to ensure privacy, censorship resistance, and self-moderation through user voting. Its core value is providing a space for open, temporary community discussions that leave no permanent digital footprint on a central entity.

Key Features:

Decentralized peer-to-peer architecture
Ephemeral communities with post expiration
Censorship-resistant and serverless design
Community moderation through user voting
Focus on privacy and anonymous participation

Use Cases:

Hosting temporary, topic-focused discussion groups
Engaging in or moderating censorship-resistant public forums
Experimenting with decentralized social networking platforms

Alternatives:

Discord – Centralized, persistent servers with voice/video chat, unlike Aether's ephemeral, text-only P2P forums.
Lemmy – Federated, server-based link aggregator and forum software, contrasting with Aether's serverless, temporary P2P communities.
