An excellent expose on one of the most prolific and creative minds in the #Fediverse, and as the following article by @sean eludes to, far far beyond.

@mike 's contributions to #FOSS and #DeSoc go back much further than just the #ActivityPub portions of the Fediverse, well over a decade in fact, as the creator of #Mistpark, now #Friendica, and also #Zot6 and #Nomad, which promises to be a show changer for identity in the world of Social communications.

And then there's #Hubzilla, which in its default installation speaks the #Zot6 protocol.
In Hubzilla you can, among other things, create "nomadic profiles": you can host your account on several instances ("hubs", in Hubzilla language) at the same time.
That means that if one of those instances crashes or is seized by the authorities, you can continue to use your account from (one of) the other instance(s).

@[email protected] @stux @[email protected] I have to add that using "nomadic profiles" only works if you use #Zot or #Zot6, the native #Hubzilla protocol.
But Hubzilla does much more than just exchanging short messages. You can host your entire website with it, with a wiki and agenda and all.
But all that comes with a price, of course. Hubzilla is much more complex to set up and use than #Mastodon. I see people complain about Mastodon being difficult: those people should stay away from Hubzilla 😉

@dennis_jernberg There is also #Hubzilla. Both were developed by Mike Macgirvin, he's working on the latter fulltime while the Friendica is handled now by the active community of devs.
Hubzilla also have its own protocol #Zot / #Zot6. Main selling point is portability of account and data. You have one account in the entire Zot network. Register in a few servers, if one goes down, you can just continue as usual.

@brianjgriffith If it's already down, unfortunately, it's gone, unless the admin is willing or can manually export and give you your data. It's a limitation of the #ActivityPub protocol.
As an aside: This is what the #Zot / #Zot6 protocol solved (used by #Hubzilla platform). Your identity and data can exist in multiple servers (you still sign-up, then it is copied over, so you still have the choice). If one goes down, you can switch your “main” server with three clicks.
