Movim: Decentralized Social Network

Decentralized networks are entering our world, at the moment the most popular networks that do not have a root server are: Torrent, i2p, Tor.

But recently another one has been added to them - a decentralized social network.

What is the difference from the usual?
The main idea of ​​the social network Movim - your data belongs to you and should be stored where you see fit.

To register on the social network Movim, you must choose a server that you trust, or create your own.

After the server is selected - you can register on it, now all your data (Avatar, messages, news) will be stored only on this server.

But what to do if you stopped arranging this server?
- Transfer your account to another!
The network allows you to entrust the contents of the account to several servers and completely painless to transfer it between them.

The process of installing your own server is simple: (Performed at MAMP)

After you enter the data to access the MySQL server will be installed:


When you first visit it, you will see the following:

Developer plans for the next version

It seems to me that for such social networks the future, think for yourself, the network is not controlled by anyone, you yourself can choose a server, and if suddenly someone decides to introduce censorship on the selected server, move the account.

In addition, your messages are not on incomprehensible servers, but only where you see fit.

The network has no advertising.

Perhaps, there is not enough support for multi-level encryption (as in i2p) and uploading photos, if these points are corrected - Movim will compete with Facebook.
