What is Corebook°?
Corebook° is an open-source, decentralized social networking platform that focuses on privacy and giving users control over their data. It was created as an ethical, non-commercial alternative to mainstream social networks like Facebook.
Some key features of Corebook° include:
- Open source code that is transparent, auditable, and available for anyone to use or modify.
- User data is encrypted and not accessible or sold to third parties.
- Options to make posts private, anonymous, or pseudonymous for increased privacy.
- Self-hosting available for those who want maximum data ownership and control.
- Chronological news feeds instead of algorithmic feeds that promote engagement.
- Groups, events, messaging, and other community-building features.
The platform is built with privacy at the forefront. There is no tracking, data mining, or targeted advertising. Data is stored in decentralized servers rather than a central database. The code is constantly scrutinized and improved by a global community of independent developers.
While Corebook° lacks some of the fancy features and large user base of networks like Facebook, it offers an ad-free experience where users have transparency and control. For people concerned about corporate surveillance, data harvesting, and unethical business practices, Corebook° provides a principled alternative.
