This repository first went public in 2010 and spawned a number of fediverse-related projects. Friendica, Hubzilla, Zap and many others. Those became branches of this tree. Some turned into independent open source communities. Some withered and sputtered out. This is the main development trunk. My name is Mike. I'm retired from open source now, but building advanced communications software is what I do; and this repository is where I build and test new concepts and ideas.
From day one the question was how to build a federated/decentralised communication stack that respects all people and cultures - including those which have a different political bias; and allows them to all co-exist in the same space without killing each other. We've come up with lots of creative soutions to the thorniest of decentralisation problems over the intervening years.
From day one the question was how to build a federated/decentralised communication stack that provides more control over your privacy, and respects all people and cultures - including those which have a different political bias; while allowing them to all co-exist in the same space (without killing each other). We've come up with lots of creative soutions to the thorniest of decentralisation problems over the intervening years.
I'll highlight the most important ones: we implement cross-domain granular permissions and cross-domain (nomadic) identity and cross-domain single sign-on. All of these work together to provide a social platform which is probably unlike any you have used before. It is fully decentralised, but provides many features that were previously only available from monolithic centralised systems; which is a huge distinction from other fediverse projects.

Permissions are your gate-keeper. This is how you free yourself from trolls and abuse and spam. You can also block those you don't wish to see, but you'll rarely (if ever) need to do so if you just have sensible permissions to begin with.

This work is dedicated and released to the public domain with no strings attached. Be advised that many others have contributed code to this repository under a number of different OSI-approved software licenses during its existence. This has no effect on any of your fundamental software freedoms; although corporate legal consultants who wish to re-appropriate our work for their employer's profit will likely find this lack of license clarity "troublesome". This is intentional.
The current name of this repository implies fluidity. This code does not represent any specific product or brand or organisation. It represents an idea. The name of the software may change at any time for any reason. As a brand or product it technically does not exist. This is also intentional. We believe that brand worship tends to feed wealth accumulation which is at the heart of many of the problems faces humanity. It's perfectly fine if you disagree, but this is why we place no importance on having a recognisable product name.
