        WireMin is similar to Twitter, but its decentralized structure ensures that there is no censorship and no risk of user data being stolen. Just Google it for more info.

          It says it’s all about free speech. Not a nesting ground for right wing extremists I hope?

          I already have mastodon but always happy to explore new to me options.

          Does it use ActivityPub? What makes it different than Mastodon?

          EDIT: Not a fan of it requiring an app. It also doesn’t look like it’s open source. That’s a no-go from me.

            It is immune to censorship because creating an WireMin account does not require any personal information. Plus, its decentralized nature means that there is no central server and users cannot be banned or censored.

              They don’t need personal information. If the owner of a server doesn’t like what you post , they can ban the account. They run the whole machine so if they really wanted to they could block your IP from even connecting in the first place!

              Decentralization doesn’t mean you’re free to post whatever you want. It’s still someone else’s computer, and they make the rules. Federation doesn’t change that. Sure it’s harder to suppress information, but a few admins could easily coordinate against you if they so wanted.

                I created a chat space on WireMin and tried, but I can’t really ban a sender or remove any content.

                “They run the whole machine so if they really wanted to they could block your IP from even connecting in the first place!” so I assume the owner of this platform is a guard, lmao.

              I played with it a bit and, as you described, it does not require personal information to create an account. I saw people saying it is a combination of Mastodon & Session because they have a Discovery section to explore all servers and spaces.
