Why Disbigle

Why Disbigle

Social media without the islands

The free social web already exists. It just needed a door that opens on all of it.

Disbigle connecting Mastodon, diaspora*, Hubzilla and the fediverse
Separate networks drawn as islands

The problem

Free networks, divided

Mastodon, diaspora* and Hubzilla are free, open and run by people, not by ad companies. But they speak different languages.

diaspora* uses its own protocol. Mastodon uses ActivityPub. So a comment from one often never reaches the other, and friends end up split.

What goes wrong today

Half conversations

You see some replies, your friend sees others.

Privacy that leaks

Private posts can't cross networks safely.

Lonely small pods

Small diaspora* pods see fewer and fewer people.

A single thread joining replies from four networks

The solution

A bilingual social network

Disbigle speaks ActivityPub and the diaspora protocol at the same time, natively. Every person has one address and one key, valid on both.

  • Comments, likes and deletions are bridged between networks
  • Private threads travel only to the people in them
  • Aspects, the best idea of diaspora*, for everyone

Kind spaces

Moderation tools from day one, clear rules.

Open code

Free software under the AGPL. Read it, change it.

Who is it for?

For you

You want your friends in one place and a calm feed without ads.

For diaspora* users

Keep aspects and privacy, and finally talk with the whole fediverse.
