There's no secret.Ello is privately funded, and a very large majority of Ello is owned by its 7 founders. We control the company. There's no pressure for us to do anything we don't want to do :v:that's an emoji peace sign in the end, i repeat emoji peace sign― Karl Malone, Thursday, September 25, 2014 7:07 PM (9 minutes ago) Bookmark

Just wanna point out that "privately funded" and "funded by VCs" means the same thing
― 龜, Thursday, 25 September 2014 23:19 (eleven years ago)
Also you can take money from VCs and not give up majority control of your company
That's how VC funding works
And what does the 'large' in 'large majority' mean anyway

large as in 'i bet that car is 30 large'

Actually reading a little on this I think it can go either way
Still the fact that the Magnificent 7 still own a 'large majority' means jack shit

Building something like Ello costs money. They have a team of at least seven people, and have worked on it for months.
That sounds like some amateur hour bullcrap.

"Just Chill Stuff". Only chill posts allowed. Only chill pics allowed. If any thread gets more than five comments, it gets automatically deleted, as it probably wasn't chill, see?

every time you post your past transgressions are erased; however if you run out of transgressions it starts taking away the things you love

Hi!Just a quick note if you’re on the Ello waiting list.
As you may have heard, interest in Ello has grown very fast. We're so grateful for so much love and interest in Ello.
If too many people join at once, the Ello servers will melt down.
We have an amazing technical crew, and we’re inviting people as fast as we can.
Please be patient, and don’t worry. You’ll receive an Ello invite as soon as possible.
Much love,
Ello

ElloNSFW Month on Ello.
Following Google’s decision to ban NSFW content from Blogger (followed by an awkward reversal), we decided to celebrate freedom of speech on Ello by naming March NSWF Month.
You can’t ban some content without seriously impacting freedom of speech for everyone.
The last people we want to dictate what we can't say on the Internet are the advertisers that control big ad-based social networks. Ello doesn’t believe in censorship, and because Ello is ad-free, we will always be a dependable haven for free speech.
Help us celebrate NSFW Month on Ello by posting and discussing ideas about free speech, censorship, and why it's important that Internet remain open and free.
Much Love,Ello
PS. Some people love adult content. Other's don't. Ello is all about respecting each others' point of view. You can always turn NSFW content on or off on your Ello settings page.
