No Compromise - No-Quarter!
Pirate is a revolutionary new social media platform with NO central authority. A decentralized network where each user hosts their own personal website app or "Galleon", which also transforms into their own social media profile.
These website apps, or 'Galleons' as we like to call them, are hosted for free on platforms like Netlify and GitHub, offering a decentralized network powered by the spirit of digital freedom.
Your voice matters. Every post you make is an entry, a testament to your individuality, and a piece of content that remains unequivocally yours.
The Pirate platform encourages active content curation, where 'liking' a website contributes to a custom timeline, offering a personalized journey through the digital world.
We proudly hoist our black and white Jolly Roger as a symbol of our commitment to stand against corporate influence, central ownership, and censorship.

You're no landlubber, you're a Captain, steering your own course through the Social Media Seas.
Chart Your Course:
Your homepage, profile and timeline become your Captain's Log and your personal flag, flying high above the digital waves. Your posts are more than mere messages in a bottle, they're personal tales of your adventures in the vast sea of the internet.
Spyglass View:
Every ship you spot and "Plunder" enhances your view of the digital horizon. Your custom timeline transforms your voyage into a grand exploration of the treasures you've chosen to seek out.

Pirate is a haven from the corporate armada, from central rule, and from censorship. Every word you scribe and every tale you tell is unequivocally yours. It's about sailing under your own flag, following your own chart, and staking your claim in the digital world.
Shipmates Unite:
