Aether is a distributed, peer-to-peer discussion platform similar to Reddit, but with a stronger focus on privacy, resisting censorship, and giving users more control. Because Aether's platform is peer-to-peer, each user is a publisher and server in their own right, giving them maximum control over what gets published, what they see, and which communities they join. This article explains Aether, looks at how to sign up and how much it costs, and how Aether compares to Reddit and X (formerly Twitter).
ETHER 🌀 The ETHER exists, a simple experiment you can do
Aether is a discussion platform similar to Reddit and X (but more like Reddit) that uses peer-to-peer technology to bypass censorship and give users a lot of control.
The best way to understand how Aether is similar to Reddit and X, and how it differs from them, is to think of the platforms as houses.
X is built on a foundation, with a giant room on top of it. Everyone is that room, talking to each other. Reddit has a foundation, with many different rooms built on top of it, and you can go from one room to another and participate in the conversations that are happening in each room.
