We're running a nonprofit online conversation service, Lyra. It's a space for online conversation which respects language and attention, provides powerful tools to control audiences and news feeds, and doesn't take investment or ad revenue. We're already sustainable!

That's cool, but it's a one-dimensional chat platform, whereas Lyra is a hierarchical conversation platform with a complex access control system :)

And we have paragraphs. Do you have paragraphs? :p

Semantics is important! It means "meaning," and that's the core of language and life, really.

I think that if you're compelled to submit information, you didn't give it - it's been taken from you.

But we'll add a "within the realms of what is possible under UK law" section, I guess.

Hello! We are actually in the process of being accredited as a not-for-profit organisation. It's a bit more difficult than incorporating a PLC, so it will take a bit of time :)

I'm not sure whether you're being ironic, but I'd prefer something a little more positive in terms of a slogan ;)

That's an absolutely brilliant idea and we wish we could hire you right now to come up with more of them! >.< (Team member here)

Hello, team member here. Actually, it doesn't reek of safe spaces - it smells beautifully of controlled spaces.

Select the world button on your conversations page, and there's no filtering at all. That's not a safe space!

Hello! Hope you don't mind if I refer you to this page: https://www.hellolyra.com/about?page=how-lyra-works

And this one: https://www.hellolyra.com/about?page=how-lyra-compares

The points which are most blindingly marvellous are a) control over your audiences and your news feed and b) a respect for language and words, which comes across in lots of different places in the interface.

Hello! Lyra also supports 1 to 1 conversations (private conversations with just one person in the audience). These are just the same as private messages.

Lyra also supports panel discussions (public read, but only a few people are allowed to comment) and blogging (private read AND private write).
