Are identi.ca and status.net distributed? Their website doesn't make it obvious what it's all about.
- liotier 16y agoStatus.net is the Free software that power Identi.ca - Identi.ca is the showcase instance of Status.net and the biggest to date... But there are many others : http://status.net/wiki/Sites http://status.net/wiki/Sites - And you can deploy your own !
- mlinksva 16y agoYes, using the OStatus protocol suite, see http://status.net/2010/03/07/understanding-ostatus http://status.net/2010/03/07/understanding-ostatus
- gorog 16y agoNo, they're centralized like Twitter. StatusNet is like the Wordpress of microblogging. Each Wordpress installation is its own isolated island. It's the same with StatusNet.
- mlinksva 16y agoNot true, see my reply above. Users on different StatusNet instances can subscribe, reply, and fave each other. You can see this in action at https://identi.ca/conversation/60337615 https://identi.ca/conversation/60337615 (which also points out some of the rough edges).
