Diaspora

Diaspora is a federated social networking service, designed to be a more privacy-aware alternative to Facebook . Share what you want, with whom you want.
- Diaspora is more like a Facebook alternative; Mastodon is a Twitter alternative. Both are open-source and non-profit and aren't based on exploiting people's privacy for money-making/selling you out to adverisers or passing on everything about you (contacts, opinions, likes, location, interests...) to government authorities. Facebook does do this. JohnFastman • Apr 2017 • 17 agrees and 0 disagrees

Facebook

Free online social media and network service connecting people with friends, family, classmates and more.
- Facebook makes money by using people's private information for their profit. Your privacy - everyone you know, message, what you like and discuss - is the basis of their money-making. You are the product. Additionally, FB likes can be used to guess with high accuracy people's political preferences. Facebook have also experimented with manipulating peoples' emotions using the news feed. Mastodon does NONE of this; it's free, non-profit and open source.

- Mastodon: Open-source, decentralized/federated, can even be done p2p... Facebook: closed-source/proprietary, centralized, owned and operated by a company that gets raging hard-ons whenever there's a chance for them to molest your privacy and sell your data to anyone from shops to downright evil governments... If these two have any similarity beyond that they're both on the internet, then I'm guessing a submarine and a jetfighter are also similar. Guest • Jul 2020 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees

Gab

A social network that champions free speech, individual liberty and the free flow of information online.
- Warning
  Gab has been widely described as a haven for extremists who have been banned from other social networks.
- Gab can connect to the rest of the Mastodon network anyway! It's like Twitter but even easier to use and user-friendly. You don't need an account to look at stuff. And of course, free speech. Guest • Nov 2020 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees

The project's official Twitter refused to confirm, when pressured to answer, that they will punish hate speech that is on the "politically correct" side. Many instances have rules that endorse misandry, so despite my liberal politics I don't feel welcome here.
