Social Networking
GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server that allows you to keep in touch with your friends, post, read, and share images and articles.
Privacy and Safety
GoToSocial provides a safety-focused entryway into the Fediverse. It does not track or advertise to its users, and allows you to block people or limit interactions that you don't want.
Customizable Experience
With GoToSocial, you can follow people, make posts, and scroll through posts from people you follow using a timeline. You can write long or short posts, or just post images.
Non-Addictive Design
GoToSocial is not designed to be addictive. Your timeline and your experience are shaped by who you follow and how you interact with people, not by metrics of engagement.
Lightweight Software
GoToSocial is designed for small or single-user instances running on low-powered devices. It provides lightweight software which is simple to install and maintain.
Privacy-Focused
GoToSocial is a privacy-focused social network server. It allows you to keep in touch with your friends, post, read, and share images and articles without being tracked or advertised to.
