"Introducing 'Tent' - The decentralized social web"
http://j.mp/Q0eDjz (tent.io)
"Tent is a new protocol for open, distributed social networking. What
we believe - The Tent Manifesto What makes Tent different? Tent is
decentralized, not federated or centralized. Any Tent server can
connect to any other Tent server. All features are available to any
server as first-class citizens. Anyone can host their own Tent server.
Tent servers can also be run as Tor hidden services to create a social
darknet for at-risk organizers and activists. Anyone can write
applications that connect to Tent in order to display or create user
content. Relationships are between users, independent of their
service providers, so users take their data and relationships with
them when they change Tent service providers. Every user decide which
other users can follow them and what information will be shared with
each of their followers."
