Yarn.social
Host your own social feed on a decentralized, privacy-first platform. Connect with others through micro-blogging without ads, tracking, or data collection.
Join a decentralized, self-hosted social media ecosystem based on the Twtxt format, designed entirely around protecting your personal data. This privacy-first micro-blogging platform operates on a pull-based model, allowing you to maintain complete ownership over your social interactions. You can host your own feed on a personal server or use compatible clients to connect with friends, family, and colleagues.
Enjoy a completely transparent social experience with several core benefits:
- Zero advertisements cluttering your feed or interrupting your conversations.
- No user tracking or hidden analytics monitoring your online behavior.
- Total data privacy, ensuring no personal information is ever collected, stored, or sold to third parties.
- Flexible hosting options, from running a simple Docker container to managing a manual text file on a public web server.
- Extensible features that support conversation threads, longer posts, and rich metadata.
