Friendika is here to rock that boat.

Granted, all your friends aren't here - yet. The people who made fun of you
in high school (yet curiously wanted to be friends with you now) are still
"poking" each other and managing their virtual farms and telling you all about
their virtual gang wars. Would you miss them?
I wouldn't.
You probably have a handful of friends that are truly special. Tell them
that the world has changed. It's time to move on.
You probably have a handful of friends that are truly special. Tell those
friends that the world has changed - because it has. It's time to move on. A
year ago, if you had left Facebook, there was no place to go - at least a
place which offered the same kind of social interaction (and wasn't just
another huge company trying to make money off of all of your private
information).
Today you have options.
What if there was a social network which provided some of the same
interaction you've grown to love, *and* was free to use, open source, *and*
where your privacy is always under your control?

Welcome to the federated social web. If you choose not to use Friendika,
you can choose any of 20-30 other providers of social networking software and
still be a part of this new social network. This is bigger than Facebook.

Much bigger.
