Many networks use your data to make money by analysing your interactions and using this information to advertise things to you. diaspora* doesn’t use your data for any purpose other than allowing you to connect and share with others.
Choose your audience
diaspora*’s aspects allow you to share with just those people you want to. You can be as public or as private as you like. Share a funny photo with the whole world, or a deep secret just with your closest friends. You’re in control.
Be who you want to be
A lot of networks insist that you use your real identity. Not diaspora*. Here you can choose who you want to be, and share as much or as little about yourself as you want. It really is up to you how you want to interact with other people.
Support a Free Internet
Snipesearch (https://www.snipesearch.co.uk) began with the idea that search should respect your privacy and support an open internet. From the start we focused on building a search that doesn't track you, doesn't sell you, and simply helps you find what you need. We believe in keeping the web free, fair, and accessible for everyone.
Snipesocial
Snipesocial (https://www.snipesocial.co.uk) grew from the same values that built Snipesearch. We wanted a space where people could connect without being mined for data or manipulated by algorithms. Born as an alternative to the mainstream platforms, Snipesocial puts community first and lets you share, interact, and grow freely.
TTWrite
TTWrite (https://ttwrite.4up.eu) started as a project for creators who wanted control over their words and their audience. Instead of being another walled garden, TTWrite was built to give writers and publishers a home where their voices could be heard without compromise or invasive tracking.
Mastodon
Our Mastodon server (https://toot.snipesearch.co.uk) is part of the fediverse, giving you a way to share and connect that isn't locked down by corporations. It's free, open, and built on the same principles we've always stood for: your voice, your privacy, your choice.
Diaspora
The diaspora* server (https://diaspora.snipesearch.net) gives you another way to connect and share on your terms. It's decentralized, open, and aligned with the values we believe in — no forced identity, no hidden agenda, just real people sharing with each other.
Keeping It All Online
We've managed to keep Snipesearch, Snipesocial, TTWrite, and our other platforms alive for years by relying only on minimal, non-intrusive, privacy-respecting ads. These cover the costs of keeping everything online. We're not here to profit, just to keep these services running for the people who use them.
