Friendica

Friendica: A Decentralized Social Network

Friendica is a self-hosted social communication server that enables users to connect with others across independent social networks, without relying on central authorities or corporate data harvesting. The platform allows for seamless posting and commenting across different network nodes, fostering a decentralized social network of internet-scale proportions.

Main Features:

• Decentralization: Friendica operates on a decentralized architecture, allowing users to create relationships across any compatible system, forming a network of smaller sites.
• Privacy: Users have access lists for every item, private conversation groups, and one-to-one messaging options. Additionally, content can be set to expire after a certain period.
• Interoperability: Friendica supports various protocols, including ActivityPub, OStatus, diaspora*, email contacts, and RSS/Atom feeds. This enables users to interact with others on different platforms.
• Importing Content: Users can import arbitrary websites and blogs into their social stream via RSS/Atom feeds.
• Customization: Friendica allows for optional features like "expire" old content after a certain period of time and downloading personal data.

With Friendica, you can keep in touch with people you care about, connect with others across different networks, and enjoy open social communication without relying on specific providers.
