Friendica – A Decentralized Social Network (friendi.ca)

• Decentralized infrastructure avoids central data silos.
• Full interoperability with the ActivityPub ecosystem.
• Granular user control over data residency.

"Friendica is a decentralized social networking platform built on open-source, federated protocols. Unlike centralized platforms, it operates as a collection of independent servers, preventing single-point ownership of user data. By leveraging protocols like ActivityPub, Friendica ensures interoperability across the Fediverse, including platforms like Mastodon. The architecture empowers users to maintain control over their interactions and data residency, offering a resilient alternative to proprietary social media stacks. This model supports digital autonomy by decentralizing infrastructure and reducing reliance on major corporate cloud service providers."
