		phaer on Feb 9, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: GNU Social, a FLOSS alternative to Twitter GNU social is, as far as I understand it, just a rebranding of the old StatusNet project after it joined the GNU project. identi.ca had been the most post popular StatusNet instance until they switched to pump.io, a new project started by at least one of the StatusNet developers. tent.io is unrelated to the others as far as i know.

Correct on all counts.

Identica was a StatusNet instance it is now a Pump instance.

GNUSocial is a re-branding of StatusNet.

Not exactly.

GNU social was its own project when StatusNet was still a thing.

GNU social, StatusNet and "Free and Social" merged to become GNU social
