The interface is intentionally minimalistic and removes elements such as advertisements, tracking scripts, and algorithmic timelines, presenting content in a chronological and distraction-free format. Users can view profiles, tweets, media, and replies without needing to log in, making it useful for anonymous browsing and content consumption. The system also supports RSS feeds and advanced search features, enabling integration with external tools and workflows.

Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server
GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server, written in Golang. With GoToSocial, you can keep in touch with your friends, post, read, and share images and articles. All without being tracked or advertised to. It is already deployable and useable, and it federates cleanly with many other Fediverse servers (not yet all). However, many things are not yet implemented, and there are plenty of bugs! We left the alpha stage around September/October 2024, and we intend to exit beta sometime around 2026. GoToSocial provides a lightweight, customizable, and safety-focused entryway into the Fediverse, and is comparable to (but distinct from) existing projects such as Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, and PixelFed. If you've ever used something like Twitter or Tumblr (or even Myspace) GoToSocial will probably feel familiar to you: You can follow people and have followers, and you make posts that people can favorite and reply to, and share. -
