Satellite is a forkable, P2P, publicly hosted social platform

In plain words

Satellite is a decentralized social platform that operates on a peer-to-peer model and can be forked by users. Launched in 2020, it is publicly hosted and allows users to create their own instances while remaining connected to the broader network. The platform is designed for people seeking social networking alternatives that prioritize user control and data sovereignty over centralized server management.
