Some ground rules.
These are set and enforced by the mastodon.africa moderators.
Be respectful of others
No trolling, spamming, or flame-baiting
No harassment, or sharing of personal data
All content must be “Safe for Work”
Don’t try to overload or break the service
Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see. Radically different social media, back in the hands of the people.

Moderating the way it should be
9jabook puts decision making back in your hands. Each server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media, making it the most flexible in responding to the needs of different groups of people. Join a server with the rules you agree with, or host your own.

Why 9jabook?
Decentralized
Instant global communication is too important to belong to one company. Each 9jabook server is a completely independent entity, able to interoperate with others to form one global social network.
Open Source
9jabook is free and open-source software. We believe in your right to use, copy, study and change 9jabook as you see fit, and we benefit from contributions from the community.
Not for Sale
We respect your agency. Your feed is curated and created by you. We will never serve ads or push profiles for you to see. That means your data and your time are yours and yours alone.
Interoperable
Built on open web protocols, 9jabook can speak with any other platform that implements ActivityPub. With one account you get access to a whole universe of social apps—the fediverse.
What our users are saying
