   Best open-source software distributed social network

   Best Thing is Friendica is a free and open-source software distributed social network. It forms one part of the Fediverse, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers

• US Air Force DevOps Engineer Sets Himself on Fire in Protest War in Gaza

  Observe how news media treat story like this. https://time.com - first page, main story, no photos https://www.reuters.com - no mention https://apnews.com - first page, 2nd block in list, no photos https://www.nytimes.com - second page, tiny block in list, no photos https://www.washingtonpost.com - second page, tiny block, no photos https://www.theguardian.com/world - no mention https://www.aljazeera.com - first... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Anyone else following this Texas abortion case?

  If it's any consolation, it was top billing on cnn.com yesterday, which is where I first saw it. Entire top left of the screen was the woman's face and a huge headline. Now it's buried in a couple lines below the (digital) fold. Source: 6 months ago

• Wifi with secondary security

  Try and force the page by entering a url in the browser such as cnn.com . Also, try loading a full browser and trying to surf. What type of phone are you on? Source: 6 months ago

• Does anyone know why CNN is suddenly blocked for me?

  FWIW, I had to disable the Wipr content filtering on cnn.com to see the web site. Guess I'll get my news fix from wapo.com, now. Source: 6 months ago

• cnn.com blocking browser because of uBlockOrigin with a message of "Browser Blocked" and to whitelist EasyList.

  I don't know what EasyList or uBlock are (i.e., I don't use those), but I got blocked by cnn.com as well. Firefox on Mac. Turns out it was the "I don't care about cookies" extension (automatically accept consent requests). Once I disabled that for cnn, it worked again. Source: 6 months ago

• Facebook Groups alternatives?

  You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social. Source: 6 months ago

• We need a Facebook groups style decentralized alternative. Does one exist?

  I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca. Source: 11 months ago

• Looking for a “news aggregater”.

  In addition to what has been said, you can also use Friendica, another great decentralized alternative (server list). It supports RSS, along with being a regular social network. Source: 11 months ago

• 📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

  Facebook being whatever it is would be friendi.ca. Source: 12 months ago

• Open Source Social Network php based social networking software

  Given the similarity to FB, what's the advantage over Friendica or Hubzilla? Both support federation with other servers and can be run as a closed community too. Source: about 1 year ago
