True open source

Citadel is 100% open source software using the GNU General Public License. It's not a crippled, cut-down version of some expensive "enterprise" edition. The software you download here is the very best available, and it's all free software.

Best of all, the Citadel project pledges never to let entryists ruin its code of conduct. We know that social justice warriors destroy everything they touch.

There are no social media links here. Enjoy a friendly Citadel community instead. Or go outside.
