Can’t think where I’ve heard this before, but yes, go for it guys.

I love the Tor aspect, am thinking that can be a real game-changer.

How can I use Tent?

First you need a Tent server. You can use a hosted service, or host your own with tentd.

Tent servers send new content to your followers and listens for new content from people you follow. It stores all this content safely so it’s available for you to view later.

You view and create content with apps. Apps connect to your server to post new content you have created and check for content from people you follow. You can limit apps so they can’t see all your content. If you have private photos or messages, you might want only a few apps to see them.

Can I switch Tent servers?

Absolutely! And you can take your relationships – your followers with you. If a service provider changes its terms, shuts down, is acquired, discontinues a product, no problem – you can take your data and relationships with you and set up somewhere else – on your own server or at another provider.

Can I get my data out of Tent?

Of course! There are two simple ways: with an app or another Tent server. Just authorize a Tent app or a new Tent server to view the content and it will transfer over automatically.

What can Tent users do that they could not on other social networks?

Tent users can take their relationships–the users they follow and the users who follow them–and their content with them. Tent also lets them control their data, decide who can see it, and how they can use it. Tent is distributed and an open protocol, so if they don’t like an app or service they can change providers or write their own.

They do not have to tell anyone about their Tent servers. They can also run a Tent server as a Tor hidden service, making it even harder for anyone to silence their voices online or track them down. Tent respects pseudonyms, handles, and everyone’s right to anonymity. Since users control their own Tent servers, they also choose their name, which can be anything they want.

Even more features are coming in the next version of Tent.
