Why it’s listed

'no advertising and no user tracking' and funded solely by donations1, open source under AGPL2, and servers are run by their communities.

The trade-off

It's volunteer-run and under-funded (38% of its donation target on 13 October 2026)3, and each server sets its own rules, so pick a general-purpose one.

Price

Free.
