Derailed - Talk Your Way

When you hear the word “Derailed,” what crosses your mind? Perhaps someone on Twitter who “derailed” that tweet, trains running off their tracks, or something else entirely? Now, let’s delve into the opposite of “Derailed.” What might that be?

What’s the polar opposite of a platform gone rogue, the cruft of modern social media? Well, the answer is crystal clear: Derailed!

Your Way To Talk

Derailed aims to revolutionize the world of modern social media. Here, you’re in the driver’s seat, communicating the way you want, engaging only with those you choose, all facilitated by an unbiased filtering system.

Derailed stands as a viable alternative to Discord, Reddit, and Twitter. We seamlessly blend cutting-edge software with inspiration from our predecessors, ensuring a familiar, swift, and enjoyable user experience.

Why Derailed?

Derailed endeavors to harmoniously combine the Reddit and Discord experiences while adding a dash of Twitter flair. For those familiar with these platforms, Derailed’s interface feels like home. A common analogy is often drawn:

Derailed is reminiscent of a modern Facebook & Messenger

This analogy holds true in many aspects. We offer a Reddit-style approach to Tracks (Derailed’s equivalent of Threads, Posts, or Tweets) paired with Discord-style messaging, all in one convenient place.

Small & Performant

Derailed’s desktop and mobile apps leverage state-of-the-art, high-performance tools, purpose-built for their respective tasks.

Our apps strive to maximize your device’s resources while minimizing consumption. We aim for a compact, high-performance, cross-platform app experience accessible to all.

All-in-one

Derailed serves as a comprehensive all-in-one instant messaging and “microblogging” / forum platform, incorporating the best features from your favorite platforms.

Free & Open

Derailed’s core features, including messaging and microblogging, will remain free indefinitely. No strings attached.

In the future, Derailed may add paid features for businesses or cosmetics, but never core functionality.

Derailed’s API is entirely open, a stark contrast to the Reddit API, and it will always be free. This means you can make full use of Derailed’s community tools without any limitations!

ETA?

As of now, Derailed remains in private alpha. We prefer not to provide a specific ETA for its public release, as our focus is on delivering a polished product without rushing.

Our goal is to ensure that Derailed is mostly complete when you get your hands on it. Until we can provide that assurance, we’ll continue in private alpha.
