Why have your own Community Server?

Absolute Control

Having your own community server gives you absolute control over your own voice on the Internet. It's your server, subject to your rules, not anyone elses. It will exist as long as you want it to exist.

No Time-Wasting Algorithms

The big social networks use algorithms to keep you engaged endlessly by adding messages from people you do not follow to your timeline. Your own community server won't do this. When your friends are not posting, the timeline stops, and you can get on with other things in your life.

How do I interact with other people?

Globally

You are not isolated on your own community server. You can interact with people on other community servers. You can exchange messages and follow each other much like you would on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

We call this network of federated community servers the 'Fediverse'.

Locally

Your own community server can be just for you, for anyone you invite, or you can open it up to the entire world. It's up to you!
