I'm your admin, you can call me Jack or Wraidd, and I've set this place up as a private corner of the internet for friends and friends-of that have a vague interest in not selling their entire life profile to our megacorp overlords. Think of this system like the BBSes of old – a collection of services intended to foster community with like-minded people.
So first, make sure you read the Laws of Moonbeam.town. Then, log in to your Control Panel and explore what we have to offer!
The following services are currently available:
Here's what I'd like to implement in the immediate future:
A lot of the mobile software I suggest is primarily or only available through F-Droid, which is a repository of open-source, generally privacy-respecting Android software. Some of the suggested software is also available through the Google Play store, but in general it's better from a privacy perspective to download from F-Droid. Apologies to iOS users – I haven't owned an iOS device in over ten years so I don't have any insight to offer there.
That's all I can think of! I'm mainly on Matrix – feel free to say hi (matrix:@wraidd:moonbeam.town) or just hop into the Town Commons and introduce yourself to the other users! And if there's something you'd like to see on this service that isn't yet offered, I'm happy to entertain suggestions!
Server costs are minimal, about $150 annually at our current server package. All the same, help is always appreciated. If you'd like to donate, we have a Ko-fi!
