About to migrate section "Comparison of projects" of article "Distributed social network" Toni Stoev (talk) 01:05, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SparkleShare?

Could someone explain why SparkleShare is listed here? It's not really "social networking", it's Git-based, Dropbox-like file sharing and collaboration. Sixthhokage1 (talk) 16:45, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - I second the above. Suggest it's deleted in a couple of weeks if no-one justifies it's presence.Iamsorandom (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Appleseed?

The Appleseed project website seems to be down - and moreover, it is redirecting to this wikipedia page. Does anyone know any more about this? Has the project folded?Iamsorandom (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Diaspora X2

According to this Checklinks tutorial; "Parking links should be removed." Slatedorg (talk) 22:33, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MediaGoblin?

Hi, I was wondering if MediaGoblin should be included on this list. Esn (talk) 21:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

not yet. They're considering implementing ActivityPub, but no solid plans yet. See: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/mediagoblin-2020-02-15 --Danylstrype (talk) 04:06, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ownCloud

I have re-introduced the ownCloud project, which now supports federation, after previously removing it from the distributed social network article. Toni Stoev (talk) 14:27, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How to mark dead projects?

By clicking through the list of projects, I realized that many of them where dead or stale. Does anyone disagree to split the list into two sections? One would be "active projects" and the other "inactive projects". The second section would be for projects where the project page and repository isn't reachable anymore and/or the last activity (blog post, commit, ...) had been done two years ago. Daris (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please feel strongly encouraged to do this. Strongly agreed with splitting out dead projects into their own section and table. Bonus points if you can somehow find / cite a date of death for each (or note as apparently dead circa YYYY. date of last activity is a reasonable approximation if you have that, for projects that have no known active deployments. If someone is still running it, even without any code updates, it's not quite dead yet.). Thanks. Tantek (talk) 22:48, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

rename page?

In network terminology, "distributed" usually refers to pure P2P software where every node is both a client and a server. Scuttlebutt and Jami are examples of this. Most of the projects in these tables are for creating federations of servers, like email. Can I suggest changing "distributed" to "decentralized"? I also suggest have separate tables for federated social network projects, and actual distributed/ P2P ones. --Danylstrype (talk) 04:10, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Needs Cleaning Up

Each entry is written to a different standard. For example, under "Privacy Support" for Element it says "Yes. e2ee in Personal message by default. e2ee must be enabled for group chat", for Mastodon it says "Yes", and for Zap it says "Extensive". --Hiveir (talk) 01:29, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
