Please describe what were your initial thoughts? - Can I host a social network on my own server? - what about privacy? - what about security? - are messages encrypted on client-site? - is it possible for site-admins to read private messages between users? - how far can I control my entries? - who can see which informations? - How can I leave the network? - Can I transfer my data to another network? - Is there an open api to connect from another application?

hi aya72,

it's a private by default, if you don't share the resource (photo, album, think) to friend, friends or close friends, they will NOT know it is there.

yes, you could host social network in your own server

message is encrypted.

There's api to connect to this social network from another application. But it's not public yet.
