What is Mobilizon?
Mobilizon is an open-source, federated social networking platform launched in 2020. It is designed to be an ethical and privacy-focused alternative to mainstream platforms like Facebook.
Some key features of Mobilizon include:
- Decentralized architecture - Data is stored on multiple independent servers rather than one centralized platform
- User control over data - Users can delete their data and take it with them if they leave
- Open source code - The codebase is transparent and open to independent auditing
- Focus on privacy - Does not use tracking or targeted advertising
- Ethical design - Goal is to empower users and online communities, not maximize profits
On Mobilizon, users can create profiles, groups, events and discussions. It allows people with shared interests to connect while minimizing surveillance and commercial exploitation of their data. The decentralized model gives more control to individuals rather than corporations.
As an open, transparent and ethical platform, Mobilizon aims to facilitate online collaboration and communication without compromising privacy. It is building an alternative model to the data collection and algorithmic curation used by major social networks.
