Why it’s listed

it runs on your own server with 'no subscriptions, viewer limits, or forced ads'1, it's open source under MIT2, and viewers can follow streams from Mastodon and other fediverse apps.

The trade-off

You need a server and some technical confidence, and the project runs on modest donations.

Price

Free software; you pay for your own hosting.
