Pleroma

Start using Pleroma by joining an existing Pleroma instance or check the installation guide to setting up your own server. Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange messages with) other servers that support the same federation standards (OStatus and ActivityPub). What that means is that you can host a server for yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate with all servers that implement either OStatus or ActivityPub, like GNU Social, Friendica, Hubzilla and Mastodon.

(1 Rating)

The open protocol that creates a censorship-resistant global "social" network is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, making it tamperproof. It does not rely on any central server or P2P techniques and is resilient as a result. Everyone runs a client, which can be a native or web version, to publish posts that are signed with their key and sent to multiple relays. Updates from other users are requested by asking multiple relays if they have any information about those users. Any individual can run a relay, which simply accepts and forwards posts without requiring trust. Verification of signatures occurs on the client side.
