>Lyra, an open, ethical conversation platform

While the concept seems really interesting, what do you mean by "open" in this context? For example, are you able to export your data? (I wasn't able to find anything about that on the site.)

By "open" we mean that the platform does not discriminate against any particular groups (for example, by requiring real names) and that its feed algorithms and behaviour have a clear and simple meaning.

We are completely open to offering data export, it's on the medium-term feature plan. For now we will do a manual JSON dump for anyone who asks.
