Since 2017, every branch of this repository evolved to support communications over ActivityPub, the current web standard for social communications. This provides immediate access to (currently) around 5 million people across (currently) around a hundred different software applications. There are Twitter clones and Facebook clones and Instagram clones and YouTube clones - and we interact with all of them. In the interests of full disclosure, this repository first went public in 2010 as a decentralised Facebook alternative, but we've since turned it into something completely different and no longer care about emulating anybody or anything. We provide a social experience and privacy mechanisms and features you simply won't find elsewhere.

This software will install as a fediverse server using the LAMP stack. There are also containerised installations available. It is regularly maintained and updated and you are welcome to help - if you want. Many/most of our sites are privately run on small devices for family and friends and we don't know and don't care how many exist or how many "users" are on our systems. There are very few public sites. We spend a lot of effort providing a level playing field for all. You have the same features and abilities no matter how big (or small) your server is.

Many/most of our sites are privately run on small devices for family and friends and we don't know and don't care how many exist or how many "users" are on our systems. There are very few public sites, as many of our site admins support their infrastructure out of pocket and have other pursuits demanding their attention.
