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.

My name is Mike. I'm retired from open source now, but building advanced communications software is what I do; and I've been doing it since before the web existed. So this isn't a hobby or get rich scheme - it's my life's mission 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 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).

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 your platform just provides sensible permissions to begin with. You also control the visibility and distribution of your communications to any desired audience; either individuals, sharable collections of individuals, ad-hoc communities, topical interest groups, or to the world if you desire.
Nomadic identity gives you control of your online existence. You can replicate your identity **and all your data** in near real-time to multiple service providers. If any provider goes offline, even for an hour; you are completely unaffected. If one of your providers cancels your account because they don't like your ethnic group or political belief, you are completely unaffected.

If one of your providers cancels your account because they don't like your ethnic group, political/sexual belief system, or if they get hit by a bus or don't pay their hosting bills, you are completely unaffected.
Single sign-on works with permissions to provide access to private media content and hidden conversations that your friends publish on their own sites.
