Open-source social networking without monopoly.
Self-hostable • Community-owned • Server-choice enabled
BizBuch is an open-source social networking application originally built to connect entrepreneurs.
It has now evolved into a broader mission: ending the monopoly of centralized social networking by enabling anyone to host their own social network.
Unlike traditional social platforms where a single company owns the servers, data, rules, and reach — BizBuch can be deployed by anyone on a dedicated server (on-prem or cloud) to create independent community networks.
Centralized social networks often mean:
- one company controls the infrastructure
- one platform owns user data
- one authority decides moderation policies
- users are locked into the same network
BizBuch flips that model.
✅ Self-host your own server
✅ Communities control rules and identity
✅ Users can choose which server to join
BizBuch enables servers to be created around a niche or purpose, such as:
- 🌱 Environment & sustainability
- 🎭 Culture, traditions & communities
✈️ Travel and tourism groups- 🚀 Entrepreneurship & startups
- 🏢 Companies / internal networks
- 🏘️ Cities, local neighborhoods & communities
Each deployment becomes its own independent social network — built and owned by the community running it.
BizBuch will include an Advanced Setting screen (coming soon) where users can:
- Select the server they want to join
- Connect to that server's community network
- Switch servers based on interest, region, or purpose
This enables a decentralized-style experience:
One app, many communities, user choice.
- Provide a self-hostable social networking platform
- Reduce dependency on centralized social monopolies
- Enable niche and community-owned networks
- Support server selection across deployments
Contributions are welcome!
