Aether is a peer-to-peer network of independent, self-moderated communities.
Aether offers many self-governing, interest-based communities with auditable moderation and mod elections via the votes of its community members.
Since Aether is a peer-to-peer network, it has no servers, and all data is transmitted through the shared bandwidth of its users across the world, offering free and open mass-communication without compromising the privacy of its users.
It has been described as a decentralised, modern Usenet.
