Mistpark installations can -link together into a global social network which is free from central -control. We are developing connectors to seamlessly communicate with many -other open social networks and providers - GNU-social, Diaspora, Status.net, -and even some of 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. +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. -Period. - -Mistpark is secure, and as private as you wish it to be. Our 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 is only able to -see the side of you that you wish to present. - -A single instance of Mistpark Server can easily support hundreds of (and up to -several thousand) people using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these -people are able to connect with potentially hundreds or thousands of friends -and associates on any other supported network anywhere in the world and share -photos, links, status updates, etc. - -But maybe you don't want to be connected 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 and especially k-12 organisations. - -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 created and used for closed conversations. In this way your -conversations with one group of friends is completely isolated from other -friends or groups of friends. - -IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements. - -Visit http://mistpark.com for more information. - -You may also contact the author and raise issues via the source code -repository on github -- 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. +Report issues at http://bugs.friendica.com/ \ No newline at end of file
