- Smithereen is server software enabling participation in the decentralized fediverse.
- Users can connect across different servers, similar to email interoperability.
- Fediverse handles resemble email addresses (e.g., @john@smithereen.social).
- Each fediverse server is independently run, with its own rules and moderation.
- Server independence prevents centralized control, such as ads or pay-to-boost fees.
