       A decentralized alternative to Facebook, Zoom, et al.
        
       Given the interest in alternatives to centralized networks right
       now, I have decided to post this. Every few years we hear about the
       problems with huge centralized social platforms.
       They mediate and moderate all our interactions       They control
       everyone's data, identity and brand       They concentrate all the
       data in one place       They get hacked / feed data to spies /
       advertisers       They extract rents, brands pay to reach them
       They track us across the Web       They can exert huge influence
       over our democracy       And yet, we do not have viable
       alternatives to them, that would be good enough for people to
       switch to. I'm not talking about Matrix or Mastodon. It takes years
       to recreate a user experience that has all the features you would
       expect from these large platforms. At Qbix, we spent the last 10
       years and reinvested $1MM of our revenues to do exactly this. It's
       now ready.   _For those of you who want to back a project to see
       this actually happen, instead of just talking about how nice it
       would be, you have an opportunity to do so. Watch the video at the
       URL below to understand why there is a lot of demand for open,
       popular platform like Wordpress but for hosting customizable,
       communities with third party plugins. Especially now in the wake of
       the lockdowns and social distancing, every organization is looking
       how to connect their members online._
