These services connect across server and administrative boundaries through the communication protocol Zot, providing decentralized and nomadic identity within the Zot network, while message federation is supported over Zot, [[ActivityPub]], [[OStatus]] and the [[diaspora*]] protocol, making Hubzilla interoperable with most distributed social networks and the [[Fediverse]]. | ||

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." | ||
