    When you create a community on Aether, It’s not on X, Y, Z service, it’s on the Internet itself. Aether is a protocol like email, so long as there are apps talking Aether's protocol, it will continue to exist.

  • QUOTE: Mim is a open, distributed, peer-to-peer network protocol that distributes objects in a fashion that aims to be easy to build from a developer's standpoint. It's the protocol underlying Aether, which is the reference implementation of the Mim protocol.
