Below is a list of are social networks that are decentralized and/or private. I do not necessarily endorse the users or content of these networks:
- Sociall – an Instagram replacement that emphasizes user privacy — has an associated crypto token — plans to use a blockchain for data security
- Mastodon: A twitter replacement that is community owned and ad-free — see also the site for the overall project
- Minds: A user-oriented Instagram alternative — open-source and encrypted
- Ruqqus: A social network for “uncensored discourse”
- Tildes: A Reddit style site that mostly covers technology and geek topics (currently invite only)
- Lobste.rs: A Hacker News style site that focuses on programming and technology
- Raddle.me: A news-oriented discussion site
- Frendica: A decentralized social network
- Notabug: A decentralized peer-to-peer Reddit alternative
