Komrade is a social*ist* network. It is predicated on anti-capitalist and anti-racist principles of freedom and solidarity.

## Features
### Your traffic is untraceable
4 years ago
All traffic is routed via [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/), a global maze of computers so dense that even the FBI can't trace your footsteps. And what's untraceable is also unmonetizable: your data can't be harvested by technology companies and used for advertising algorithms. You're protected from both surveillance capitalism and the surveillance state.

### Be as anonymous as you wish
Design a profile and account which is as anonymous as you want to make it. If you don't reveal yourself, your traffic or behavior elsewhere on the internet won't either.
### Best of what's out there
We present a simplified set of social media features drawn from everything that's out there and then some:
* Profile
* Curate a profile with photo and posts (e.g. Twitter)
* Show profile to world (e.g. Twitter)
* Show profile only to friends (e.g. Facebook)
* Show profile only to your local area (e.g. Nextdoor)
* Posting
* Post to the entire world (e.g. Twitter)
* Post to your friends (e.g. Facebook)
* Post to your surrounding area by a distance radius (e.g. Nextdoor)
* Anonymously up-vote or down-vote posts (e.g. Reddit)

Not just non-profit, we're anti-profit.
## Design
Design details are changing rapidly, but these are what we have so far.
### App
The 'client' or app is made with [KivyMD](https://github.com/kivymd/KivyMD), a variant of [Kivy](https://kivy.org/), a cross-platform mobile development framework in Python. Python is an easy and versatile progamming language to learn, which keeps the code accessible to as many people as possible.
### Server
The server also runs on Python, serving a graph database powered by [Neo4j](https://neo4j.com/).
