A Better Discord. A Private Social Platform. A Safe Community.
OpenTenebris is a community-first social platform built on the principle that you are not a product. Unlike major platforms that log every click, track every IP, and sell your data to advertisers, OpenTenebris operates on a privacy-by-default, surveillance-by-exception model.
Logging of normal users: NOTHING. We log threat actors: EVERYTHING NEEDED TO STOP THEM.

Major platforms treat you as inventory. Discord logs everything. Reddit sells your data. Twitter is chaos.
OpenTenebris is different.
- No logging normal users
- No selling your data
- No tracking you across the web
- No advertisers
- No bullshit
Just a place to build communities, talk to people, and exist online without being farmed.
Where privacy is the default, not the exception.
