(2019-07-09) Tired Of Today's Platforms? Run Your Own Social Media Network

Tired of Today’s Platforms? Run Your Own Social Media Network. Mozilla Fellow Darius Kazemi has published a DIY playbook for those disenchanted with Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms.

https://runyourown.social/ (Run Your Own Social) is a DIY playbook for creating your very own social network for 10, 50, or 100 people. The in-depth, 10,000-word playbook covers a range of topics, like how to host the network on your own server, how to build and enforce your own code of conduct, and how to set up the infrastructure using open-source software like Mastodon or Pleroma.

Darius Kazemi continues: “Since August 2018 I have run a social network site called Friend Camp for about 50 of my friends. I think Friend Camp is a really nice place, and my friends seem to agree that it has enriched our lives. I’d like to see more places like Friend Camp on the internet
