USENET-inspired, uncensorable, decentralized internet discussion system running on IPFS and OrbitDB, with lots of 80's style synthewave puns. Aims to be censorship-resistant and distributed. Requires a local IPFS client to access the network.
This Agora is a wiki like experimental social network and distributed knowledge graph. A node is the set of all notes and resources with a given title or otherwise mapping to an entity description. Subnodes (blocks) in a node can come from a variety of sources; they are resources volunteered by Agora users through their independent repositories. As of August 2021, these are mostly notes from digital gardens. The wikilink is the heart of this Agora: wikilinks serve as a tool to indicate a social context assembled out of individual and group contributions. In this Agora, foo bar will resolve to every resource that identifies with entity 'foo'; in particular, currently every file named foo-bar.md, foo-bar.jpg, foo-bar.png, etc. An Agora tries to best-effort integrate user contributions while preserving meaning and volunteering interesting information. You can also think of it as a sequential wiki.
Free, no-nonsense, super-fast blogging. No javascript, no stylesheets, no trackers. Just your words. All the post content is written in Markdown. Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an indiviual blog system. It is more like Medium than Jekyll. Due to this it currently isn't possible to self-host Bear Blog as an individual blog.
Well, it probably is, you'll just be the only user.
A silly microblogging site, like Twitter but for crabs.
Pleroma is a free, federated social networking server built on open protocols. It is compatible with GNU Social, Mastodon, and many other ActivityPub implementations.
The project consists of several components: Pleroma is the server implementation, and comes bundled with PleromaFE, the default frontend. Other useful utilities are also provided, such as an ActivityPub relay.
High performance, low latency, you can even run it on a RasPi (and many busy Pleroma instances are!)
Written in Elixir and Phoenix, with Postgres as its back-end.

Movim is a decentralized social platform, written in PHP and HTML5 and based on XMPP. Database backend for caching. Seems suited for not-shared hosting because php-fpm is recommended, as well as Websockets and a long-running daemon (which shared hosting providers like Dreamhost don't like and kill automatically). Seems to require experienced webapp admins because knowledge of the application architecture is required.
Requires that the server support XEP-0060 (pubsub) because message transfer is built on top of it.
Keyoxide allows you to link accounts on various online services and platforms together, prove they belong to you and establish an online identity. This puts you, the internet citizen, in charge when it comes to defining who you are on the internet instead of large corporations.
Seems a lot like Keybase.

Seems like it's written in PHP. Could be a lot worse.
An ultra-slim microblogging package for hackers. CLI or bust. Open system - uses text files in public places, so there. Tracks the directories of twtxt users and aggregates them into a timeline. Written in Python3. Integrates with the usual shell environments. Simple enough that people have written their own implementations.
Distinct from jointwt/twtxt! Do not delete this bookmark!
Maybe it can be repurposed as a message bus for stuff?
A Mastodon instance for Homestuck.
