It’s similar to Lemmy, but it’s P2P and the channels aren’t centralized like here so to speak. So we may join channels external to socialism but also create socialist ones which can be modded.
The dangerous thing may be relying on P2P exposition, instead of relying on the authority of a central server (although some may consider this an advantage, since if the owners are corrupted everything comes down).
So what do you think?

I remember trying in once, but the fact that it required an app for desktop meant that it was never going to get going.
Isn’t it based on some crypto stuff too?
Aether is not a blockchain, nor is it based on one, It is a new technology purpose-built from scratch. Aether is a peer-to-peer flood network that distributes a content graph. This content graph is brought to life at every node based on that specific node’s desires. This is what allows Aether’s users to be ultimately sovereign: they have control on how this content graph is compiled into communities, threads, posts, votes, and so on.
If one would be to force the blockchain metaphor, Aether can be described as an arbitrary number of blockchains that its users select based on their interests1. The verification process happens on a per-entity basis, not on a per-block basis, therefore it can progress atomically without relying on other, possibly-not-present blockchains.
