Distributed Social Networking Protocol
open-in-new
<p>Distributed Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) is an <a href="/facts/Open_source/7X9rCdz4">open-source</a> <a href="/facts/Communication_protocol/5uady7cB">protocol</a> designed to enable decentralized <a href="/facts/Social_network/kQg6aEVf">social networking</a> by allowing interoperability between <a href="/facts/Platforms_(computing)/DmKwp5Bk">platforms</a>. Decentralized networks using protocols such as DSNP can implicitly help to enable increased user <a href="/facts/Anonymity/HUJJCdv1">anonymity</a>, thus enhancing a user's security and privacy. It allows individuals to connect across various platforms and tools without having to create and manage separate accounts, potentially reducing the division between users of individual platforms. </p>
