Flotilla, while early, shows the power that community creators can hold by owning their own data. They can't be rugged, censored, or deplatformed if they run their own relay based community. It's great!
Not to mention that it's interoperable with other software, like https://chachi.chat
OP and developer here, Flotilla's not quite primetime-ready, but I saw the Revolt post and decided to proffer my own alternative. Happy to answer any questions.
