9 Decentralized, P2P and Open Source Alternatives to Mainstream Social Media Platforms Like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Reddit
======
You probably are aware that [Facebook is going to share the user data from its ‘end to end encrypted’ chat service WhatsApp][1]. This is not optional. You have to accept that or stop using WhatsApp altogether.
Privacy cautious people had seen it coming a long time ago. After all, [Facebook paid $19 billion to buy a mobile app like WhatsApp][2] that hardly made any money at that time. Now it’s time for Facebook to get the return on its $19 billion investment. They will share your data with advertisers so that you get more personalized (read invasive) ads.
If you are fed up with the “**my way or highway**” attitude of the big tech like Facebook, Google, Twitter, perhaps you may try some alternative social media platforms.
These alternative social platforms are open source, use a decentralized approach with P2P or Blockchain technologies, and you may be able to self-host some of them.
### Open source and decentralized social networks
![Image Credit: Datonel on DeviantArt][3]
I’ll be honest with you here. These alternative platforms may not give you the same kind of experience you are accustomed to, but these platforms would not infringe on your privacy and freedom of speech. That’s a trade off.
#### 1\. Minds
Alternative to: Facebook and YouTube
Features: Open Source code base, Blockchain
Self-host: No
On Minds, you can post videos, blogs, images and set statuses. You can also message and video chat securely with groups or directly with friends. Trending feeds and hashtags allows you to discover articles of your interest.
That’s not it. You also have the option to earn tokens for your contributions. These tokens can be used to upgrade your channel. Creators can receive direct payments in USD, Bitcoin and Ether from fans.
[Minds][4]
#### 2\. Aether
Alternative to: Reddit
Features: Open Source, P2P
Self-host: No
![][5]
Aether is an open source, P2P platform for self-governing communities with auditable moderation and mod elections.
The content on Aether is ephemeral in nature and it is kept only for six months unless someone saves it. Since it is P2P, there is no centralized servers.
An interesting feature of Aether is its democratic communities. Communities elect mods and can impeach them by votes.
[Aether][6]
#### 3\. Mastodon
Alternative to: Twitter
Features: Open Source, Decentralized
Self-host: Yes
![][7]
[Mastodon][8] is already known among FOSS enthusiasts. We have covered [Mastodon as an open source Twitter alternative][9] in the past, and [we also have a profile on Mastodon][10].
Mastodon isn’t a single website like Twitter, it’s a network of thousands of communities operated by different organizations and individuals that provide a seamless social media experience. You can host your own Mastodon instance and choose to connect it with other Mastodon instances or you simply join one of the existing Mastodon instances like [Mastodon Social][11].
[Mastodon][8]
#### 4\. LBRY
Alternative to: YouTube
Features: Open Source, Decentralized, Blockchain
Self-host: No
![][12]
At the core, [LBRY][13] is a blockchain based decentralization protocol. On top of that protocol, you get a digital marketplace powered by its own cryptocurrency.
Though LBRY allows creators to offer l kind of digital content like movies, books and games, it is essentially promoted as an YouTube alternative.
We have covered [LBRY on It’s FOSS][14] in the past and you may read that for more details. If you are joining LBRY, don’t forget to follow It’s FOSS there.
[LBRY][15]
#### 5\. KARMA
Alternative to: Instagram
Features: Decentralized, Blockchain
Self-host: No
![][16]
Here’s another blockchain based social network governed by cryptocurrency.
KARMA is an Instagram clone built on top of open source blockchain platform, [EOSIO][17]. Every like and share your content gets, earns you KARMA tokens. You can use these tokens to boost your content or convert it to real money through one of the partner crypto exchanges.
KARMA is a mobile only app and available on Play Store and App Store.
[KARMA][18]
#### 6\. Peertube
Alternative to: YouTube
Features: Decentralized, P2P
Self-host: No
![][19]
Developed by French company Framasoft, PeerTube is a decentralized video streaming platform. PeerTube uses the [BitTorrent protocol][20] to share bandwidth between users.
PeerTube aims to resist corporate monopoly. It does not rely on ads and does not track you. Keep in mind that your IP address is not anonymous here.
There are various instances of PeerTube available where you can host your videos. Some instances may charge money while most are free.
[PeerTube][21]
#### 7\. Diaspora
Alternative to: Facebook
Features: Decentralized, Open Source
Self-host: Yes
Diaspora was one of the earliest decentralized social networks. This was back in 2010 and Diaspora was touted as a Facebook alternative. It did get some deserving limelight in its initial years but it got confined to only a handful of niche members.
Similar to Mastodon, Diaspora is composed of pods. You can register with a pod or host your own pod. The Big Tech doesn’t own your data, you do.
[Diaspora][22]
#### 8\. Dtube
Alternative to: YouTube
Features: Decentralized, Blockchain
Self-host: No
![][23]
Dtube is a blockhain based decentralized YouTube clone. I use the word YouTube clone because the interface is way too similar to YouTube.
Like most other blockchain based social networks, Dtube is governed by DTube Coins (DTC) that creator earns when someone watches or interact with their content. The coins can be used to promote the content or cashed out from partner crypto exhcnages.
[DTube][24]
#### 9\. Signal
Alternative to: WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger
Features: Open Source
Self-host: No
![][25]
Unlike the end to end encrypted chats in WhatsApp, Signal doesn’t track you, share your data and invade your privacy.
[Signal rose to fame][26] when Edward Snowden endorsed it. It got even more famous when [Elon Musk][27] tweeted about it after WhatsApp sharing user data with Facebook.
Signal uses its own open source Signal protocol to give you end-to-end encrypted messages and calls.
[Signal][28]
#### What else?
There are some other platforms that are not open source or decentralized, but they respect your privacy and free speech.
* [MeWe][29]: Alternative to Facebook
* [Voice][30]: Alternative to Medium
There is also Element messenger based on Matrix protocol which you may try.
I know there are probably several other such alternative social media platforms. Care to share them? I might add them to this list.
If you had to choose one of the platforms from the list, which one would you choose?

9 款去中心化、 P2P 的开源替代品，用于取代 Twitter、Facebook、YouTube 和 Reddit 等主流社交媒体平台
======
你多半知道，[Facebook 要从它的“端到端加密”的聊天服务 WhatsApp 那里共享用户数据了][1]。对此，你别无选择，必须接受条款。不然，只能停用 WhatsApp 了。
注重隐私的人们，早就料到了会有这事。毕竟，[Facebook 可是花了 190 亿美元收购了 WhatsApp 这样的手机应用][2]，而当时靠它还赚不到什么钱。现在，Facebook 该回本了——回那之前投进去的 190 亿美元的本。他们打算把你的数据共享给广告商，这样的话，你看到的广告就会更加个性化（侵犯性）了。
要是你受够了 Facebook、Google、Twitter 等科技公司的“我说了算”的态度，那你应该试试一些社交媒体平台的替代品。
这些社交平台的替代品都是开源的，它们都用了 P2P 或区块链技术来实现去中心化，而且你应该也能自己托管几个。
### 开源和去中心化的社交网络
![Image Credit: Datonel on DeviantArt][3]
（写《一九八四》，不是为了让你也学着做）
先说句实话，这些替代平台的体验，可能会和你惯用平台的体验有所差异，但这些平台是不会侵犯你的隐私和言论自由的。这就是一种权衡。
#### 1\. Minds
```
用于替代：Facebook 和 YouTube
特点：代码开源、区块链
自托管：否
```
在 Minds 上，你可以发视频、博客、图片，并设置当前状态。你也能向群聊，或者直接向好友，安全地发送消息或者进行视频聊天。通过热门内容和话题，你可以发现你感兴趣的文章。
还不止这些。你还能通过做贡献来赚取代币，这些代币可以用来升级你的频道。创作者可以从粉丝那里直接得到美元、比特币和以太坊的支付。
[Minds][4]
#### 2\. Aether
```
用于替代：Reddit
特点：开源、P2P
自托管：否
```
![][5]
Aether 是一个开源、P2P 的平台，用于创建自治的社区，并可以审查管理记录以及选举版主。
Aether 上的内容，具有存在时间短的性质，并且内容只会留存六个月，除非有人把它保存下来。因为它是 P2P 的，所以中心服务器不复存在。
Aether 有趣的一点在于它的民主性社区。社区可以选举版主，也能投票检举版主。
[Aether][6]
#### 3\. Mastodon
```
用于替代：Twitter
特点：开源、去中心化
自托管：是
```
![][7]
在自由开源软件爱好者中，[Mastodon][8] 已经很有名了。我们之前报道过 [Twitter 的开源替代品 Mastodon][9]，并且[我们也介绍过 Mastodon][10]。
Mastdon 不只是一个像 Twitter 一样的网站，它还是个由数千个社区组成的网络，这些社区都由不同的组织和个人运营，并且都提供无缝的社交媒体体验。你可以托管自己的 Mastodon 实例，并选择将其连接到其他 Mastodon 实例，或者直接加入一个已有的 Mastodon 实例，比如说 [Mastodon Social][11]。
[Mastodon][8]
#### 4\. LBRY
```
用于替代：YouTube
特点：开源、去中心化、区块链
自托管：否
```
![][12]
[LBRY][13] 的核心是一个基于区块链的去中心化协议。协议顶层，便是由其加密货币驱动的数字市场。
通过 LBRY，创作者可以提供多种数字化内容，例如影片、书籍和游戏。基本上，它是作为 YouTube 的替代而受到推崇的。
我们之前在 [It's FOSS 上报道过 LBRY][14]，你可以去读那篇文章了解详情。如果你要加入 LBRY，别忘了在那里关注 It's FOSS。
[LBRY][15]
#### 5\. KARMA
```
用于替代：Instagram
特点：去中心化, 区块链
自托管：否
```
![][16]
这也是一个基于区块链的社交网络，由加密货币驱动。
KARMA 是 Instagram 的一个复制品，它构建于开源区块链平台 [EOSIO][17] 之上。每当你的内容获得了点赞和分享，你就会得到 KARMA 代币。你可以用这些代币来推广你的内容，或者通过一个合作的加密货币交换方，来将其转换为现实货币。
KARMA 只能在手机上使用，可以在 Play Store 及 App Store 上获取。
[KARMA][18]
#### 6\. Peertube
```
用于替代：YouTube
特点：去中心化, P2P
自托管：否
```
![][19]
PeerTube 由法国公司 Framasoft 开发，它是一个去中心化的视频平台。PeerTube 使用了 [BitTorrent 协议][20]以在用户之间共享宽带。
PeerTube 旨在抵制企业的垄断，它不依靠广告，并且也不会追踪你。不过要注意，你的 IP 地址在这里不是匿名的。
目前有许多 PeerTube 的实例，你可以在那里托管你的视频。有些实例需要付费，不过大多数都是免费的。
[PeerTube][21]
#### 7\. Diaspora
```
用于替代：Facebook
特点：去中心化、开源
自托管：是
```
Diaspora 是最早的去中心化社交网络之一。追溯到 2010 年，当时 Diaspora 就作为 Facebook 的替代品而受到吹捧。最初几年，它确实得到了一些应得的关注，但它只在小众范围内得到了使用。
和 Mastodon 类似，Diaspora 由许多 pod （节点服务器）组成。你可以在一个 pod 上注册，或者托管你自己的 pod。科技公司无法拥有你的数据，只有你可以。
[Diaspora][22]
#### 8\. Dtube
```
用于替代：YouTube
特点：去中心化、区块链
自托管：否
```
![][23]
Dtube 是一个基于区块链的去中心化 YouTube 复制品。之所以说它是 YouTube 复制品，是因为它界面太像 YouTube 了。
Dtube 像其他基于区块链的社交媒体一样，是由 DTube 币（DTC）驱动的。每当有人观看创作者的视频或者与之互动，创作者就会获得 DTC。这些硬币可以用于推广内容，或者通过合作的加密货币交换方来提现。
[DTube][24]
#### 9\. Signal
```
用于替代：WhatsApp、Facebook Messenger
特点：开源
自托管：否
```
![][25]
与端到端加密的 WhatsApp 聊天不同，Signal 不会跟踪你，不会共享你的数据，也不会侵犯你的隐私。
[Signal 一举成名][26]，是在它得到 Edward Snowden 的认可之时。而当 WhatsApp 开始与 Facebook 共享数据时，Elon Musk 又发了关于 Signal 的推文，这便让 Signal 更受瞩目了。
Signal 使用了自己的开源 Signal 协议，以提供端到端加密的消息和通话服务。
[Signal][28]
#### 还有别的吗?
还有一些其他的服务，它们虽然不是开源或者去中心化的，但也尊重你的隐私与言论自由。
* [MeWe][29]：Facebook 替代品
* [Voice][30]：Medium 替代品
还有一个基于 Matrix 协议的 Element 聊天工具，你也可以试试。
我知道，应该还有几个别的社交媒体平台的替代品。也想分享一下？我可能会把他们加到列表中来。
要是你也得在这个列表中选一个平台，你想选哪个呢？
