Distributed Social Networking Protocol

It provides users with control over their data, enhance privacy and security, decentralization of information, and promotes cross-platform interaction.

It provides a framework for open digital interactions, enabling users to maintain a consistent social identity across multiple applications.

Operating on an application-agnostic model similar to SMTP for email, DSNP promotes the development of interoperable applications.

Through encryption and permission-based access systems, DSNP enables users to determine who can view and interact with their data, supporting their ability to manage their digital presence.

Bluesky and Mastodon (which operate using the AT Protocol and ActivityPub standards, respectively) are examples of platforms associated with a movement toward DSNP usage.
