Make Hubz with Hubzilla
What are Hubz?
Hubz are general-purpose websites. Every member can create or customise their own personal websites, media collections and/or social spaces, and these can all share and interact.
Hubz all over the internet connect together "magically" to create very large communities and social networks; and these can all share and interact.
Hubz members can securely and privately share anything; with anybody, on any Hubz. Or share stuff publicly with the entire internet if desired.
Hubzilla is open source and built using common webserver technology (PHP/MySQL/Apache, although Mariadb or Postgres and Nginx could also be used, we're pretty easy).
Hubz are
- decentralised
- inherently social
- optionally inter-networked with other Hubz
- privacy-enabled (privacy exclusions work across the entire internet to any registered identity on any compatible Hubz)
Possible website applications include
- decentralised social networking nodes
- personal cloud storage
- file dropboxes
- managing organisational communications and activities
- collaboration and community decision-making
- small business websites
- public and private media/file libraries
- blogs
- event promotion
- feed aggregation and republishing
- forums
- dating websites
- pretty much anything you can do on a traditional blog or community website, but that you could do better if you could easily connect it with other websites or privately share things across website boundaries.
