// about

A social network
that doesn't sell you.

niwego is an independent node of the fediverse. No ads, no tracking, no algorithm deciding what you see. Just people connected, on free software. Your profile, your data, your rules.

// principles

How we think

01 · decentralized

No master

There's no central server, no company that owns everything. niwego is one of the many nodes that together form the fediverse.

02 · open source

Open code

It runs on Friendica, free software. Anyone can inspect how it works. No black boxes.

03 · no ads

Zero advertising

No ads, no disguised sponsored posts. The feed is chronological, not decided by an algorithm.

04 · no trackers

You're not the product

We don't profile you and we don't resell your data. What you write stays yours.

05 · federation

One network, infinite servers

From niwego you follow and talk with people on Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed and the whole fediverse, thanks to the ActivityPub protocol.

06 · your data

No lock-in

Export everything whenever you want and move your account to another node. You stay free to leave.
