Hubzilla: decentralized social networks of the future
Introduction
Hubzilla is free social networking software developed by Mick McGirvin and later managed by Mario Vavti. The project is an ecosystem of decentralized platforms called hubs, which interact with each other through the Zot protocol. In addition, integration with Fediverse is supported thanks to the ability to connect the ActivityPub, Diaspora and OStatus protocols through plugins.
Hubzilla Key Features
One of the key advantages of Hubzilla is its channel cloning mechanism. This allows users to transfer their accounts between hubs without losing data or contacts, ensuring reliability and censorship resistance. Other functionality includes:
-
Flexible privacy settings: Users can control the visibility of their posts and interactions.
-
Cloud storage: Built-in file manager allows you to store and share files.
-
Calendar and photo albums: Tools for organizing events and storing multimedia data.
-
Creating websites and wikis: The ability to develop and publish web pages directly from the platform interface.
Hubzilla and Fediverse
Thanks to Fediverse support, Hubzilla interacts with other decentralized social networks such as Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube and others. This expands the boundaries of communication and allows users to participate in the global digital space.
Conclusion
Hubzilla is a powerful and flexible solution for building independent social networks with a high level of privacy and data control. Channel cloning, decentralized architecture and rich functionality make it a great alternative to centralized platforms.
