Federation Implications

Once public (or shared private - by you) content is federated, it may be stored or redistributed by other Fediverse servers beyond our control. Deleting or modifying your content on our instance does not guarantee removal from other servers. Please consider this before sharing publicly or with specific users, as we cannot enforce deletion or privacy on remote instances.

We do not use third-party analytics, mainstream advertising networks, or tracking services. Errors may be tracked and stored on-site.

We process your personal information based on:

  • Legitimate interests in providing the service
