'''Hubzilla''' (formerly known as '''Redmatrix''') is a modular webserver based operating system which includes technologies for [[Web publishing|publishing]], [[social media]], [[file sharing]], [[photo sharing]], [[Online chat|chat]] and more, including the ability to develop custom modules. These services connect across server and administrative boundaries through the communication protocol [[Zot (Protocol)|Zot]], providing decentralized and [[nomadic identity]] within the Zot network, while message federation is supported over Zot, [[ActivityPub]], [[OStatus]] and the [[Diaspora_(social network)|Diaspora]] protocol, making Hubzilla interoperable with most [[Distributed social network|distributed social networks]] and the [[Fediverse]]. | '''Hubzilla''' (formerly known as '''Redmatrix''') is a modular webserver based operating system which includes technologies for [[Web publishing|publishing]], [[social media]], [[file sharing]], [[photo sharing]], [[Online chat|chat]] and more, including the ability to develop custom modules.
