Movim is a decentralized, open source social network platform that runs on your own server using the XMPP protocol.

About Movim

Movim is a web-based social networking platform that puts you back in control of your data. It uses the XMPP protocol, the same open standard behind Jabber and many chat systems, to handle messaging, communities, and publishing. You install it on your own server, and it connects to any XMPP server, letting you talk to friends on other federated services.

Movim includes real-time chat, group discussions, a blog-like publishing system, and file sharing. It runs on Linux servers with PHP and a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. The front end is built with JavaScript and works in modern browsers. It integrates with existing XMPP infrastructure and supports end-to-end encryption via OMEMO.

This tool is for anyone who wants to run their own social network without handing data to a big corporation. It is free and open source under the AGPLv3 license. The project started in 2012 and has a small but active community of developers and self-hosters.
