Hubzilla (formerly ''Friendica Red'', ''Redmatrix'', ''Hubmaker'') came into existence on May 12th, 2012, as an effort by the founder and former lead of the [[Special:MyLanguage/Friendica|Friendica]] project, Mike Macgirvin, to experiment with decentralized approaches to managing user identities and access control on the Web. | Hubzilla (formerly ''Friendica Red'', ''Redmatrix'', ''Hubmaker'') came into existence on May 12th, 2012, as an effort by the founder and former lead of the [[Special:MyLanguage/Friendica|Friendica]] project, Mike Macgirvin, to experiment with decentralized approaches to managing user identities and access control on the Web. | ||

Hubzilla is a decentralized communication and publishing platform. A server running Hubzilla, called a ''hub'', interoperates with other hubs primarily through the Zot protocol, yet may also be configured to function in isolation. Some notable features of Hubzilla are: | Hubzilla is a decentralized communication and publishing platform.

There is at least one documented large-scale use of Hubzilla beyond the typical personal, family or community communications platform. Peer reviewed publications in IEEE's International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems, and BMC Health Services Research, describe the use of Redmatrix (today Hubzilla) as a tool for integrating and providing continuous care across the network of healthcare providers serving a neighborhood of 600'000 people in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. | There is at least one documented large-scale use of Hubzilla beyond the typical personal, family or community communications platform.

An academic report published in 2015 says Hubzilla/Redmatrix "is currently most suited to be provided as an alternative to the current centralized social networks and [...] can be provided as a service by hosting providers. It has an efficient message distribution model, enhanced privacy features, and provides an unique feature named nomadic identities. [...] It is currently more mature than some of the other implementations and puts the user back in control of their data." | An academic report published in 2015 says Hubzilla/Redmatrix "is currently most suited to be provided as an alternative to the current centralized social networks and [...] can be provided as a service by hosting providers.
