Distributed Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) is an open-source social media protocol designed to decentralize data ownership, enable seamless cross-platform interaction and allow users to regain control over their personal data, including posts, connections, and messages. This decentralized approach allows users to retain ownership of their information and move it between platforms without relying on a single provider.[1]
DSNP supports interoperability between different social networks, enabling users on one platform to interact with those on another platform without the need to create an account on the other platform. This approach contrasts with traditional, centralized platforms, where users and their data are confined to a single ecosystem limiting cross-platform interaction.[2]
In addition, DSNP is designed with a focus on privacy and security, giving users full control over who can access their information.
DSNP is slowly becoming a more common form of social media. As of 2024, distributed social networks like Bluesky (AT Protocol) and Mastodon (ActivityPub) are starting to replace more established centralized platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
