Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a double post but I think I sent using the wrong email :s
Whilst I was bored at work I came across a post on Hacker News about this project called GNU social which really intrigued me[1][2]
It's basically Twitter with a federated design, so my server can talk to the hundreds of other servers world wide and it also provides quite good redundancy.
You can check out my server at https://www.aridgwayweb.com/gnu-social/
I am still wrapping my head around how it all works and I have had to add a hack to php scripts to get some functionality as run on php 7 not 5.6 so I am not promising that my server won't just randomly stop working because of this. I will also lock it down if to many users on it because the hardware I am running it on is quite modest (it's a hobbyist server)
I think its a great concept though and thought this group might be interested in checking it out.
