Friendica - A Decentralized Federated Open-Source Social Network That You Can Self-Host https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/0a17e883-c40f-47e0-840a-f8e3dfe4203b Friendica is a decentralized open-source social network which federates with many other social networks including diaspora*, Hubzilla, and the Fediverse of social networks. It can mirror too with Twitter and IFTTT, or export posts to Discourse, libertree, Tumblr, Wordpress and e-mail. It is a good candidate for being an alternative to Facebook, and you can either join a public server, or self-host your own instance. In this video I give an overview of Friendica's functionality and features, a comparison with Hubzilla, a look at it's interface, and a tour through the settings menu. I also make the case for it being a cleaner way to use Twitter.
