Socialli

Nobody is one-dimensional, why should we only have one social media feed? On socialli we can have multiple "lists", a feed for our different interests. We might like a person's art, but not their politics, then just follow their "art list". :)

Socialli is an opensource decentralized social media app built with Blockstack.

Features

Data Ownership

Your data is your own. Private data, like the "lists" you follow are only accessible by you. Thus, can't be exploited.

Host Independent Socialli Instances

You are not stuck with socialli.st. If you want to host or join an instance of Socialli exclusively for your family, friends, or community, you can do so. As a host, you can choose to make it public or private where only people you add as members can access.

Universal Login

As a user, you don't need to make multiple accounts, you only need your Blockstack account to access different socialli instances.
