Mastodon (social Network)
Mastodon is a free and open-source software platform for decentralized social networking with microblogging features similar to Twitter. It operates as a federated network of independently managed servers that communicate using the ActivityPub protocol, allowing users to interact across different instances within the Fediverse. Each Mastodon instance establishes its own moderation policies and content guidelines, distinguishing it from centrally controlled social media platforms. First released in 2016 by Eugen Rochko, Mastodon has positioned itself as an alternative to mainstream social media, particularly for users seeking decentralized, community-driven spaces. The platform has experienced multiple surges in adoption, most notably following the Twitter acquisition by Elon Musk in 2022, as users sought alternatives to Twitter. It is part of a broader shift toward decentralized social networks, including Bluesky and Lemmy. Mastodon emphasizes user privacy and moderation ...

Decentralized Social Networking
A distributed social network (more recently referred to as a federated social network) is a network wherein all participating social networking services can communicate with each other through a unified communication protocol. Users that reside on a compatible service can interact with any user from any compatible service without having to log on to the origin's website. From a societal perspective, one may compare this concept to that of social media being a public utility. Federated social networks contrast with social network aggregation services, which are used to manage accounts and activities across multiple discrete social networks that cannot communicate with each other. A popular example for a federated social network is the fediverse, with more niche examples such as IndieWeb complementing the network. Services that want to natively connect into a federated social network need to be interoperable with both the majority of content that the network produces (either thr ...

TweetDeck
TweetDeck, officially X Pro since 2023, is a paid proprietary social media dashboard for management of Twitter (officially X) accounts. Originally an independent app, TweetDeck was subsequently acquired by Twitter Inc. and integrated into Twitter's interface. It had long ranked as one of the most popular Twitter clients by percentage of tweets posted, alongside the official Twitter web client and the official apps for iPhone and Android. Like other Twitter applications, it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets and view profiles. On July 4, 2023, Twitter's Support account advised that in 30 days, users must be verified (and subscribed to Premium) to access TweetDeck.

Threads (social Network)
Threads is a social media microblogging service operated by Meta Platforms. Threads requires an Instagram account to use the service and features integration between the two platforms. Upon its launch, Threads became the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users in its first five days and surpassing the record previously set by ChatGPT. After Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, Meta employees explored the concept of introducing text-based functionality to Instagram. This feature, known as Instagram Notes, was rolled out in December 2022. The company subsequently began developing a separate app focused on text-based posts. Development on Threadsinternally known as "Project 92"commenced in January 2023, with the platform officially launching on July 5, 2023.

React (software)
React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a free and open-source software, free and open-source frontend and backend, front-end JavaScript library that aims to make building user interfaces based on component-based software engineering, components more "seamless". It is maintained by Meta Platforms, Meta (formerly Facebook) and a community of individual developers and companies. React can be used to develop single-page application, single-page, mobile, or server-side rendering, server-rendered applications with frameworks like Next.js and Remix (web framework), Remix. Because React is only concerned with the user interface and rendering components to the Document Object Model, DOM, React applications often rely on JavaScript libraries, libraries for routing and other client-side functionality. A key advantage of React is that it only re-renders those parts of the page that have changed, avoiding unnecessary re-rendering of unchanged DOM elements. Notable features Declara ...

Content Warning
A trauma trigger is a psychological stimulus that prompts involuntary recall of a previous traumatic experience. The stimulus itself need not be frightening or traumatic and may be only indirectly or superficially reminiscent of an earlier traumatic incident, such as a scent or a piece of clothing. Triggers can be subtle, individual, and difficult for others to predict. A trauma trigger may also be called a trauma stimulus, a trauma stressor or a trauma reminder. The process of connecting a traumatic experience to a trauma trigger is called traumatic coupling. When trauma is "triggered", the involuntary response goes far beyond feeling uncomfortable and can feel overwhelming and uncontrollable, such as a panic attack, a flashback, or a strong impulse to flee to a safe place. Avoiding a trauma trigger, and therefore the potentially extreme reaction it provokes, is a common behavioral symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-traumatic embitterment disorder (PTED) ...

Fediverse
The Fediverse (commonly shortened to fedi) is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as Federation (information technology), federation) using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia computer file, files and other data across the computer network, network. The term ''Fediverse'' is a portmanteau of ''federation'' and ''universe''. The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora (social network), Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of ''Fediverse'' that does not support ActivityPub.
