With a Nomadic Identity you are never locked permanently to one server , yet you can communicate across to other platforms much in the way that email does. In addition to not being locked.. you never need to give out a new address, you keep in communication when you migrate to another server, plus there are many free servers to use, or you can launch your own instance.

xenmaster's free speech catalog

Either as havens for the deplatformed or as open source self-hosted solutions to those who don't want to put their community in the hands of the google and facebook behemoths, the following solutions are pretty much guaranteed to protect your right to say what you want, as long as you aren't saying/doing anything illegal. Content moderation is pretty lax in many of these apps and unfortunately, many attract refugees with unpopular opinions from the more conventional apps they replace, so proceed at your own risk! NOTE: Unlike my other lists, I revisit this one to edit on a regular basis to add new better options and to remove those which are either shut down, go dark, or compromise their free-speech principles (in the case of third party services).

The hitchhiker's guide to the Fediverse

The federated universe, or “Fediverse”, is a free and open-source alternative to commercial social media platforms. It's composed of a group of federated social networking services, which allow users of each service to communicate with users on any other service. This is typically accomplished using the ActivityPub protocol. In this post, we'll try to present you some lesser-known federated platforms to major and famous social networks you've probably been using for years.

ActivityPub

A list of implementations of the ActivityPub protocol. If you know of an implementation that is missing or if you would like to see an edit to this list please reach out to me via Mastodon/AP: https://jonleibowitz.social/@jon *** UPDATE 2023 *** This list is woefully out of date and needs major revision. Please bear with me as I look it over and thoughtfully curate the latest state of AP implementations. Or make your own up to date list - that'd be cool too.

What is Hubzilla?

Hubzilla is a powerful platform for creating interconnected based websites featuring a decentralized identity, communications, and permissions framework built using common webserver technology. Hubzilla is very suitable for communities (of any size).

Features • social networking discussion threads • cloud file storage • calendar and contacts (with CalDAV and CardDAV support) • webpage hosting with a content management system • wiki • and more...

An instance of Hubzilla is called a Hub. Hubs are independent general-purpose websites that not only connect with their associated members and viewers (e.g. a community), but also connect together to exchange personal communications and other information with each other. This allows hub members on any hub to securely and privately share anything; with anybody, on any hub - anywhere; or share stuff publicly with anybody on the internet if desired.

Hubzilla is the server software which makes this possible. It is a sophisticated and unique combination of an open source content management system and a decentralised identity, communications, and permissions framework and protocol suite, built using common webserver technology (PHP/MySQL/Apache, although Mariadb or Postgres and Nginx could also be used - we're pretty easy). The end result is a level of systems integration, privacy control, and communications features that you wouldn't think are possible in either a content management system or a decentralised communications network. It also brings a new level of cooperation and privacy to the web and introduces the concept of personally owned "single sign-on" to web services across the entire internet.

Hubzilla hubs are • decentralised • inherently social • optionally inter-networked with other hubs • privacy-enabled (privacy exclusions work across the entire internet to any registered identity on any compatible hubs)
