Friendica – A Decentralized Social Network

Decentralization

Decentralized architecture with no central authority or ownership.

Relationships can be made across any compatible system, creating a network of Internet scale made up of smaller sites.

Seamless wall-to-wall posts and remote comments, even across different network nodes.

Privacy

Access lists for every item.

Private conversation groups — on these pages all communications are restricted to group members.

One-to-one private messaging on supported protocols.

Optionally “expire” old content after a certain period of time.

Download your personal data. It all belongs to you.

Interoperability

Built-in support for ActivityPub (e.g. Funkwhale, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed), OStatus (e.g. StatusNet, GNU social, Quitter) and diaspora* protocols.

Support for email contacts and communications (two-way) via IMAP4rev1/ESMTP.

Import arbitrary websites and blogs into your social stream via RSS/Atom feeds.

Support for other services via plugins.

I think this whole idea of decentralization as the answer to big tech has run its course. The age of social networks was the late 2000s and early 2010s. A new social network, when most people are tired of phones and are detoxing, is just another step backward.

Social networks, especially generic ones, are like dating apps; they abound galore. Unless it’s serving a specific niche, I don’t see this one going anywhere.
