## What is Pleroma?
|
|
|
|
From *What Is Pleroma?*[^1]
|
|
> Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange
|
|
> messages with) other servers that support the same federation standards
|
|
> (OStatus and ActivityPub). What that means is that you can host a server for
|
|
> yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but
|
|
> still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate
|
|
> with all servers that implement either OStatus or ActivityPub, like GNU
|
|
> Social, Friendica, Hubzilla and Mastodon.
|
|
|
|
Since it all uses ActivityPub in the background, that means that, for example,
|
|
you can comment on a video from [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/) using an
|
|
existing account on an ActivityPub-compatible service such as
|
|
[Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) or [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/).[^2]
