Features

 Key features of GNU social include its ability to support server-to-server communication. This means users can connect across different servers or 'nodes', thus promoting decentralized communication while preserving the integrity of conversations. The software also facilitates both public and private interactions, allowing users to choose who they communicate with and how their messages are distributed.

 Additionally, GNU social stands out due to its commitment to user freedom and privacy. The software is part of the Free Software Foundation, signifying that it adheres to principles of transparency, freedom of use, and respect for user's rights. It does not track or sell personal data, aiming instead to create a safe space where users can interact freely.
