Pubky App/Introduction is a decentralized alternative to social media platforms like Twitter. It uses a distributed architecture where:

• Users host their own data on independent Data Stores
• Services aggregate data across stores into a unified view
• Feeds and search present curated views of the aggregated data
• Application back-ends integrate features without centralized control

The end goal is to give individuals self-sovereign digital identity and true ownership over social profiles/activity without fear of data misuse or account bans by any single entity.
