Every hub member can create or customise their own "channels", which are personal websites, forums, media collections, and/or social spaces within the hub, and these can all share and interact. +Hubs are independant general-purpose websites that not only connect with their associated members and viewers, but also connect together to exchange personal communications and other information with each other. +This allows hub members on any hub to securely and privately share anything; with anybody, on any hub - anywhere; or share stuff publicly with anybody on the internet if desired. -Hubs and their members from all over the internet connect together "magically" to create very large communities and social networks; and *these* can all share and interact. - -Hub members can securely and privately share anything; with anybody, on any hub - or share stuff publicly with anybody on the internet if desired. - - -**Hubzilla** is the server software which makes this possible. It consists of an open source content management system combined with a decentralised identity, communications, and permissions framework and protocol suite, built using common webserver technology (PHP/MySQL/Apache, although Mariadb or Postgres and Nginx could also be used - we're pretty easy).
