You are not a database row.
Your Synapsis identity is anchored by a decentralized identifier and your signing keys. It can be exported, carried, and verified across the network.
A social network that belongs to the people running it. Sovereign identity, portable media, encrypted conversations, and independent nodes moving as one.
The network, reconfigured
Synapsis replaces the single social silo with a swarm of independent communities. Each node sets its own culture and rules. The network carries identity, discovery, and signed interactions between them.
You can join a node or operate your own. Either way, you aren’t renting a corner of somebody else’s audience. Your identity is based on cryptographic keys, your media can live in storage you choose, and your connections reach beyond one server.
Built differently at the root
Your Synapsis identity is anchored by a decentralized identifier and your signing keys. It can be exported, carried, and verified across the network.
Connect Stuffbox or your own S3-compatible storage. Your photos and files stay at portable URLs under your control—even if you move between nodes.
One-to-one text messages use client-side end-to-end encryption, with a separate recovery PIN for bringing your identity to a new device.
Nodes discover one another through the Swarm. Follows, reactions, reposts, and profiles cross boundaries as signed, verifiable interactions.
Operators control their node’s identity, moderation, registrations, and culture—without cutting their members off from the wider network.
The difference
For node operators
Synapsis runs as a native Node.js service with an embedded database. No Docker. No separate database server. Automatic updates keep every node moving with the network.
