Managed hosting and support for privacy-first community chat software sold to online communities and organizations that do not want to use Discord or Slack.
Federated, Privacy-First Community & Chat Platforms
With Strafe now available as an open‑source, end‑to‑end encrypted, federated Discord alternative and open‑source chat options becoming usable, community groups and organizations that won’t use Discord or Slack can get private chat — but many won’t run complex federated stacks themselves. Managed hosting, deployment and support can fill that gap.
