Registration is not open, but we are happy to federate! See more details What is this? The web page you're reading right now is served by an instance of GoToSocial, a federated, distributed, open-source microblogging software which connects to other instances across a network known as the "fediverse".
"Instance" is a term commonly used for one node in the fediverse. Each instance has its own web address, user(s), culture, rules, and settings. Instances exchange data by "talking" to each other over the internet using a protocol called ActivityPub.
Each instance can, in theory, talk to each other instance, allowing people to talk to one another across a decentralized network that has no single authority in charge.
