Mistpark
Distributed Social Network
13 years ago
Mistpark is a social network without boundaries. Mistpark installations can
13 years ago
link together into a global social network which is free from central
control. We are developing connectors to seamlessly communicate with many
13 years ago
other open social networks and providers - GNU-social, Diaspora, Status.net,
13 years ago
and even some of the larger closed services such as Facebook and Twitter.
13 years ago
Over the coming months, the boundaries between these networks will start to
become indistinguishable as they all become part of your social circle.
Your personal thoughts and conversations belong to you - and are shared with
those you wish to share them with.
Period.

Mistpark is secure, and as private as you wish it to be. Our privacy settings
are straight-forward and simple, because we know that relationships rarely are
13 years ago
(straight-forward and simple). Whether you're communicating with drinking
13 years ago
buddies or potential employers, you can rest assured that each is only able to
see the side of you that you wish to present.

A single instance of Mistpark Server can easily support hundreds of (and up to
several thousand) people using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these
people are able to connect with potentially hundreds or thousands of friends
and associates on any other supported network anywhere in the world and share
photos, links, status updates, etc.
But maybe you don't want to be connected to the world... That's OK too.
Mistpark may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
13 years ago
social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
13 years ago
communities. This makes it an excellent choice for the social networking needs
13 years ago
of young teenagers and especially k-12 organisations.
13 years ago
Every person on Mistpark has unlimited profiles available to them. There is a
"public profile" which can be seen by anybody. Additional profiles may be
13 years ago
tailored to specific groups or individuals.
13 years ago
Groups may be created and used for closed conversations. In this way your
conversations with one group of friends is completely isolated from other
friends or groups of friends.

IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements.

It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
be, help us to make it better.
