Hubzilla pioneering a safer, more resilient fediverse
summary
Hubzilla presents an extensible server with a fine‑grained permission system for per‑channel controls (who can view, comment, like, send posts), multi‑channel accounts and multiple profiles per channel, and a cross‑site auth protocol OpenWeb (magic sign‑on) that lets users authenticate on another instance without prior contact. Its nomadic identities clone a single identity across servers with near‑real‑time sync of posts, files, calendars and plugins, providing resiliency, censorship resistance and practical, long‑running deployment since ~2010–2012.
