Description

At Gab, we envision a future for online publishing that is both decentralized and accessible to all. We hold the belief that individuals using social networks should have the power to dictate their own social media interactions instead of adhering to the regulations imposed by major technology corporations. Gab Social offers a new perspective on one of the internet's most beloved functionalities: social networking. Initially derived from the Mastodon project, Gab's platform is both free and open-source, distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (AGPL3). Consequently, users have the flexibility to choose how they engage with Gab Social: whether by creating an account on Gab.com or opting to establish their own Gab Social server, granting them complete control over their experience while connecting with millions of users across various federated servers worldwide, including those on Gab itself. With these options, Gab.com aims to be a cornerstone for free speech in the digital landscape, fostering a community where diverse voices can thrive.

Description

Friendica operates as a decentralized social media platform, lacking any central control or ownership structure. Its architecture allows for the establishment of relationships between any compatible systems, effectively forming a vast network composed of numerous smaller sites. Users can enjoy seamless interaction through wall-to-wall posts and remote comments, even when engaging across different network nodes. Each item features access lists to control visibility, while private conversation groups ensure that communication remains exclusive to group members. Additionally, the platform supports one-to-one private messaging through various protocols. Users have the option to set content to automatically "expire" after a designated time period, and they can also download their personal data, affirming that it remains their property. Friendica offers built-in compatibility with several protocols, including ActivityPub, OStatus, and diaspora*, facilitating integration with other platforms like Funkwhale, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Pleroma, and Pixelfed. Furthermore, it provides two-way communication with email contacts through IMAP4rev1/ESMTP, enhancing user connectivity and interaction options even further. This extensive range of features makes Friendica a versatile choice for those seeking a truly decentralized social networking experience.
