Misskey – decentralized social media platform

Misskey is a distributed microblogging software that has been developed since 2014.

Misskey was not always a decentralized service, but became decentralized through the adoption of ActivityPub in 2018. A Decentralized service, refers to a service which features the division of a community into many servers that all mutually communicate (federate) with each other to share their contents, building a network (Fediverse). Services for which only one server exists, or for which many independent server exist, are called centralized.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• ActivityPub support – Misskey instances talk to each other, but you can make friends with people on other networks like Mastodon and Pixelfed.
• Reactions – add emoji reactions to any post! No longer are you bound by a like button, show everyone exactly how you feel with the tap of a button.
• Drive – with Misskey’s built in drive, you get cloud storage right in your social media, where you can upload any files, make folders, and find media from posts you’ve made!
• Rich Web UI – Misskey has a rich and easy to use Web UI! It is highly customizable, from changing the layout and adding widgets to making custom themes. Furthermore, plugins can be created using AiScript, an original programming language.
