Open source social media?

Tess768

I've been looking for an open source social media platform that I can use to connect with friends and family. I'm not interested in using Facebook or any other closed source platform. Does anyone know of any good open source social media platforms?I'm looking for something that has features similar to Facebook, such as a news feed, groups, events, etc.

While there are many open source social media platforms, the most popular and widely used is probably Facebook. Other popular options include Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.

Open source social media platforms do exist, although they are not as popular as the mainstream platforms like Facebook and Twitter. One example is the Elgg platform, which is free and open source software that can be used to create social networking websites. Elgg is popular with educators and researchers, and has been used to create social networks for companies and organizations such as the Open Source Initiative and SoundCloud.
