Self-reported a federalist alternative to Twitter "centralized services and capitalists"? This is Exit and decentralized social network is coming off a week like no other.
This modest copy surface of Twitter, which has existed since 2010, has indeed been taken over by Spanish Twitter users. All followed the temper of a famous Spanish bloggerBarbijaputa who, after , decided to turn to Exit 16 January.
Yesterday In Kompis Kompis, the Swedish company behind Exit, said he had been overtaken by the rapid influx of new users. 2500 will be registered according to the figure put forward by the small company. Its founders quickly to overcome the slowdown in service this had induced.
Exit is the image of the stated objectives of Kompis In Kompis (a friend of a friend 'in Swedish): free and open software. Decentralized Exit is not strictly speaking site. Users can log in and register via several 'versions' of the site (quitter.se, quitter.is, quitte.es and quitter.zone) or use Exit without registering using a clean server by downloading.
In this Exit is intrinsically different from the original that inspired it.
Many social networks from free software, or at least defending greater respect of personal data of users, trying to resist against the giants known to all: Diaspora, Pump dog, Friendica, GNU Social, Ello ... They oppose clearly the centralization of data and / or advertising and the commercial use of such data. Some connect to popular social networks; others remain closed at its sole community.
