Mistpark installations can -all link together into a global social network which is free from central -control. We are also developing connectors to seamlessly communicate with many -other open social networks and providers - GNU-social, Diaspora, Status.net, -and even the larger closed services such as Facebook and Twitter. -Over the coming months, the boundaries between these networks will start to -become indistinguishable as they all become part of your social circle. +Friendica is a communications platform for integrated social communications utilising decentralised communications and linkage to several indie social projects - as well as popular mainstream providers. -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. Privacy settings are -straight-forward and simple, because we know that relationships rarely are -(straight-forward and simple). Whether you're communicating with drinking -buddies or potential employers, you can rest assured that each can only see -the side of you that you wish to present. - -A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people -using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these people can connect with any -other supported network anywhere in the world and share photos, links, -status updates, whatever. - -But maybe you don't want to be connect to the world. That's OK too. Mistpark -may also be closed off from the global community and used to support -social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private -communities. This makes it an excellent choice for the social networking needs -of young teenagers. Their network can grow to global scope as their maturity -increases - and can be made available only to their known friends until then. - -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 -tailored to specific groups or individuals. - -Groups may be setup for closed conversations. In this way your conversations -with one group of friends is completely isolated from other friends or groups -of friends. - -Please see http://mistpark.com for more information. - -At the present time, you may contact the author and raise issues via -the source code repository on github.com. - -http://github.com/macgirvin/mistpark - -It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would -be, help us to make it better. - -Please support mistpark with a donation. +Our mission is to free our friends and families from the clutches of data-harvesting corporations, and pave the way to a future where social communications are free and open and flow between alternate providers as easily as email does today. +Report issues at http://bugs.friendica.com/ \ No newline at end of file
