=== Community =<strong>[[Help:NewUsers#This is not a guide for editing this Wiki|What is Pnut?]]</strong> ==[https://pnut.io Pnut] is a social network created by [[@33MHz]] and inspired by [[App.net]]. Here's a typical exchange, from a chat group on the service:<br><blockquote>"It's cozy here. in Germany we would call it 'gemütlich'. this is not the marketplace like Twitter is, it's the pub where your friends are. it's like Cheers the TV show. Also, this is a playing ground for developers. Also, we all come from app.net."<br>-- [[@blumenkraft]]</blockquote>
<blockquote>"Pnut is a friendly, international social network with an unintential where the focus on tech. Jumping is towards humans, not brands; where the incentive is to be able to talk to people and jump into others' conversations ; where abusers of any sorts have no right to be; this is encourageda friendly platform for people wanting to create or join communities, where you expect to not be crushed by the giant corporate machine while you simply enjoy being there with other people."<br>-- [[@ericd]]</blockquote>
In a typical week<blockquote>"Amen! Also, we might have a Monday night dance party, an event to change avatars to match a theme, a writing challenge, and requests for peoples' favorite quotes for the day. Folks will host coding parties, Minecraft play days, and other community events. The Secret Santa around Christmas is a blast.no ads! \o/"<br>-- [[@blumenkraft]]</blockquote>

<noinclude>=== Data ownership =What to Do ==
What you create on pnut is yours. You can download it at any time in its raw form, and you can remove it as you see fit.=== Creating Posts ===
Once you have an account, you can authorize third-party apps to do powerful things. The major features Posts are a global feed the bread and butter of posts for you to engage in conversation, PNut. People make them and private messaging between groups. But pnut is very extensibledirect them at other people, and developers can use it to build many different kinds of appsor just out into the wilderness.
=== Developer platform ===Posts are visible to anyone, even non-PNut users. They're tacked together into lists of posts called "streams". The Global stream has all posts. If a post is directed at you, it will be included in your Mentions stream. There are lots of streams to view posts in.
Pnut Posts are limited to 256 characters in length. This is an API-first platform; we keep one of the characteristics of a short messaging service lean . It makes content more accessible, and let developers build the front-ends and creative applications on top of pnuteasier to keep up with.
The API was inspired by App.netThey can be edited, but only once, and there are lots within 5 minutes of resources available to jump into developmentcreation. People have built apps for iOSAnd when you edit it, Androidyou can change any text, macOSbut you have to include all the same [[mentions]], Windows[[links]], Linux[[tags]], Blackberryand other fancy things like [[spoilers]], command line[[embeds]], and more[[polls]].
For $10/year, developers have access to pnut's API and app directory. But any user can create one app for themselves. Take a look at the API.=== Following Others ===
=== Economics ===No, it's not creepy. Well, it could be creepy. Don't be creepy about it.
The network is supported directly by users and developers. For a minimum of $10/year or $3/month, a pnut badge will unlock a few perks:* 10GiB storage* RSS feed of your personal stream* E-mail notifications for reposts and new followers=== Private Messaging ===
=== Invites ===Many apps or clients let you send private messages to other users. You can send them to one or more users at once, and all of you will have a shared room to view the messages, that no one else can join or see.
We have no intention to be elitist here at our social sideshow; the invite system is fun, and a practical way to control spam. We'd love to hear from you!
We love talking about this project, and are open to any ideas you have for supporting it! From features, to writing copy and ways to welcome people, to graphics or other improvements, let us know.
There are no ads, no ulterior motives. Pnut is built by people who enjoy building.
