   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

• Fediverse or Decentralization? Discussing privacy, freedom, and future

  However, one common criticism of the Fediverse, when compared to peer-to-peer networks like Nostr, Scuttlebutt, and WireMin, is that it may eventually "recentralize," similar to how client/server models tend to do. (There're already signs of that with a few instances, but we’re still very far from them to be centers.). Source: 7 months ago

• Haven't programmed professionally, but can't we just build a better alternative?

  Use scuttlebutt it's a P2P social media network (no need for servers or a cloud). Source: 11 months ago

• Nostr – Decentralized Social Network

  Can you explain why Nostry is (apparently?) your favorite over scuttlebutt? Are the protocols similar? https://scuttlebutt.nz/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Scuttlebutt, a revolutionary social network: decentralized and open source

  I just found this social network called scuttlebutt: https://scuttlebutt.nz/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any Android reddit client implements GPG?

  Signal is an app for secure e2e communication. Maybe https://scuttlebutt.nz/ would be something similar to Reddit. Source: about 1 year 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: 5 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: 10 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: 10 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: 11 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: 11 months ago
