How is Tlon Messenger different from other apps? Aspects of Tlon Messenger may look familiar, but its engineering is fundamentally different. Because your Tlon Messenger account gives you both an identity and a node on a peer-to-peer network, your messages, media, and social graph are yours to control, and keep, forever. What does this mean in practice? Imagine you joined a popular messenger a few years back. All your friends joined too. Soon, you were using it every day. You relied on this popular messenger as a phonebook, scrapbook, and journal. At first, this popular messenger impressed you with its promises. "We won't read your messages. We won't sell your information to advertisers." But pretty soon, with one update to their terms of service, this app starts to do just that. Then, the company that developed the app gets sold to MEGACORP. Your data is even more compromised. But you're stuck–you can't move to a different platform because moving your social network, already entrenched, and all its associated data is too difficult. Just when you've begrudgingly accepted your fate, forever stuck on a platform you dislike, the MEGACORP that purchased your once favorite app decides it's not growing enough to justify its existence, choosing to instead wind down operations of the entire app. So now your platform is gone, along with your data and your social graph. With Tlon Messenger not only will this never happen–it can't. We're the only company that can promise your app will still work even if we stop shipping updates. Tlon Messenger is built on an open source network with open source software. You can run your node on your own machine if you choose. You can keep using our software if you choose to run your own node, and it will continue to exist if we ever stop shipping updates. Tlon Messenger is different because it's the only app built to last forever, no matter where or how you run your node. Tlon Messenger is the only app that matters because it's the only app you own.
