who likes the home page looking like the right instead of the left 👀 creds to @richferro.com for the idea

Acorn is built by a community. Blacksky already runs all this infrastructure by itself for itself, but the technical expertise that takes should not be a barrier for other communities getting their start.
Built by a community, for communities. Blacksky started as a set of community feeds. Then came moderation tools, a member directory, a dedicated server, and eventually a full community client. Acorn is everything we built for ourselves – packaged so you can build for yours

Members can use the same account they create across a growing ecosystem of apps, meaning they can blog, livestream, DM, and more all from the same profile.

You control who your members are – recognize the ones you trust with badges and verification, and easily ban bots and trolls.
Text: "Your identity. Know who's who. Recognize your contributors with custom badges and awards, spot bots and trolls, and give new members a way in through people they trust"

Image: "Three profiles, one as a recognized community member with badges, another a new member with the person you invited them labeled, and a final account that resembles a bot"

Your social media platform can reflect you with your brand, your colors, and your members and feeds in the starter packs
Text: "A front door for your people. Your community gets a home page, a starter pack for new members, and an invite link you control. One place to land, find each other, and grow"
