GNU social

GNU social logo

GNU social, true to the Unix-philosophy of small programs to do a small job, will be a decentralized social network that you can install on your own server

What if you could authorize your server to reveal as much, or as little information about you to other sites, as you wish... one time, one day, or forever?

You can use GNU social today — install the latest release (1.1.1) or get the very latest code by cloning the code from gitorious (requires a git client).

Get around...
