Social Media

Friendica.Eskimo.Com

Friendica is a full length social media site that allows topics to be explored in depth. It is part of the Fediverse network of federated servers. What this means is something posted here is shared amongst millions of people across tens of thousands of other federated sites.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com

Hubzilla is similar to ActivityPub in that it is a server whose primary responsibility is networking with the various Fediverse protocols so that servers of different types can communicate with each other. But it also has a user interface that permits reading and posting in full length format similar to Friendica.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com

Mastodon is a micro-blogging application that allows short “toots”, analogous to Twitter’s Tweets. Like Twitter, it does not allow long posts in and of itself, but it does permit linking to longer posts.

Nextcloud.Eskimo.Com

Nextcloud is how we provide our cloud services. Just about anything you could want to do in the cloud is doable. Like the other services, it is connected to and part of the Fediverse, but the functionality of that connection is limited.

Yacy.eskimo.com

Yacy is a federated search engine. Unlike Bing, and Google, this search engine is distributed. There thousands of nodes, each of them crawl various parts of the Internet, and when you request a search, all of those which are networked, respond so that the search results you get is the sum total from the community. Although each site can limit the content it crawls and displays, no one site has control over the entire network, thus the responses you get tend to be uncensored and politically across the entire spectrum.
