It is an ecosystem of federated social networks, meaning servers freely managed by various community users and interconnected with one another. Each node operates independently but can communicate with others through the same protocol. Unlike traditional social networks, the Fediverse is decentralized, giving users control over their experience and data. Thanks to open protocols like ActivityPub or the Diaspora Federation Protocol, you can automatically connect and interact with people across different platforms without any complicated procedures, all while preserving your freedom and privacy. Discover a new, free way of socializing, built on collaboration rather than control by large corporations.

Why

Using the Fediverse means choosing freedom, privacy, and control.
Connect without ads, without algorithm-driven manipulation, and with full respect for your data.
Experience a genuine, decentralized social network tailored to your decisions.

Diaspora* is an open-source social network similar to Facebook, part of the Fediverse network, and unique thanks to its architecture and philosophy. Users register on independent “pods” (nodes) that communicate with each other. Each pod is autonomously managed, ensuring flexibility and true decentralization.

Features

  • Respects user privacy.
  • Is managed by users themselves through independent servers (called pods).
  • Gives users full control over their data and social connections.
  • Decentralization: It is not run by a single company or server. Each pod is an independent server that anyone can manage. Users sign up on a pod of their choice but can interact with users on other pods without limitations.
  • Aspects: These represent a principle of complete control that users have over their content. Users can decide which posts will be visible to specific categories of people associated with an aspect. For example, content in the “Friends” aspect will only be visible to friends, while posts in the “Family” aspect will be shared with family members. Users can create any custom aspect, grouping users and associating them with one or more aspects, or even create public posts visible to anyone, including those outside of Diaspora.

1. Control over your data

– There are no algorithms analyzing your posts for advertising purposes.
– You can choose to host your data on a server you trust, or you are free to create your own personal pod.
– You will also be able to export your data at any time.

2. Respect for privacy

– No tracking or sale of personal data to third parties.
– Users decide what to share and with whom, thanks to Aspects, which allow organizing contacts into circles.
– No annoying advertisements—just a focus on content.

3. Decentralization

– There is no single point where a company stores your information, as pods are distributed globally from community users who voluntarily share resources.
– If a pod goes offline, you can transfer your data to another one without losing the social network you’ve built.

4. Free contents

– There is no algorithm-manipulated feed: posts appear in chronological order, free from distractions or promoted content.
– In Diaspora, there is no censorship! However, common sense, respect for others, and compliance with applicable laws are expected.

5 Friendship, Leisure or Vent

– You can connect with anyone you like and share whatever you choose. Thanks to Aspects, you decide what to share and with whom, enjoying complete freedom.

6. Part of an ethical movement

– Using Diaspora means supporting a movement for a free and decentralized web, far from the monopoly of big tech companies.
