Gnu social

GNU Social is like Diaspora, Friendica, and Pump.IO . GNU Social is a federated social network that you can install on your own server. There are many instances of GNU Social software. The local one, run by Joshua Judson Rosen is https://NHCrossing.com.

Choosing Freedom

Some interesting discussion on GNU Social, a FLOSS alternative to Twitter The short takeaway from that discussion, and in general, is that if you join or host a freedom respecting federated platform (e.g. NHCrossing.com - an instance of GNU Social), then you both control your content; and can syndicate your content to other centralized services like Twitter. The benefits are many, but it can be summarized as: you gain freedom while also not suffering from lack of visibility or participation in those centralized corporate services.

Gnu's Not Unix, because Unix is proprietary software while Gnu is software that respects your freedom.
