FAQ

What's the best open-source alternative to Twitter/X?

Bluesky is the main option here, built on an open, decentralized protocol rather than a single company's servers. See alternatives to Twitter.

Is there an open-source alternative to Threads or Mastodon-style federation?

Bluesky is the listed option here — it uses AT Protocol rather than ActivityPub (which Mastodon uses), but both aim for decentralized, user-owned social media. See alternatives to Threads and alternatives to Nostr for related comparisons.
