About Polycentric
Polycentric is an open-source distributed social network that lets users own their identity. The app gives communities a place to gather, post, and converse across a network of independent servers, with no single entity in control of the conversation. Polycentric gives users full sovereignty over their data, identity, and reach.
The app is built on a distributed protocol where users choose which servers to interact through. Core features include:
- Self-sovereign cryptographic identity
- Community-centric topic feeds
- Censorship-resistant publishing
- Ownership of your own likes and follows
- Cross-platform identity linking
