Why have your own social network?

Absolute Control

Having your own social network instance gives you absolute control over your own voice on the Internet. It's your instance, subject to your rules, not anyone elses. It will exist as long as you want it to exist.

No Time-Wasting Algorithms

The big social networks use algorithms to keep you engaged endlessly by adding messages from people you do not follow to your timeline. Your own social network won't do this. When your friends are not posting, the timeline stops, and you can get on with other things in your life.

How do I interact with other people?

Globally

You are not isolated on your own instance. You can interact with people on other social network instances. You can exchange messages and follow each other much like you would on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

We call this network of federated social media instances the 'Fediverse'.

Locally

Your own instance can be just for you, for anyone you invite, or you can open it up to the entire world. It's up to you!
