What is Gnu social?
GNU social is the continuation of the StatusNet project. It is social communication software designed for both public and private interactions. It enjoys broad support and boasts a large user base. It has been utilized by the Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman himself.
**The History of GNU social**
GNU social was launched in 2010 as a spin-off of the GNU FM project, which was created to support music communities like Libre.fm. In 2013, Evan Prodromou continued developing the social networking software Pump.io and donated all his work to the Free Software Foundation. As a result, we merged the existing project with StatusNet and another initiative called FreeSocial. Here we are.
**What’s next?**
Thanks to Bytemark, GNU social has found a new home in the UK, equipped with the resources to open a series of public GNU social servers for new users, including a private server dedicated to GNU social development.
