## How It Works |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
No algorithmic sorting. Threads sort by activity or creation date. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Posts are permanent: no editing or deleting after posting. You can add footnotes to clarify or correct. This keeps discussions honest and preserves context. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Moderation tools include flagging, community bans/mutes, and a mod log for transparency. |

## Philosophy |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
We provide infrastructure for communities. We don't try to be the community. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
### What We Don't Build |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
- **Direct messaging**: Use email, Discord, Signal, whatever your community already uses |
| 42 |
- **Social feeds**: We're not competing with Twitter or Instagram |
| 43 |
- **Group chats**: Plenty of good options exist |
| 44 |
- **Event platforms**: Eventbrite, Luma, and others do this well |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
We'd rather integrate with good tools than build mediocre versions. |
