Eject Social Keeps the Original Copy at Home
A self-hosted, invite-only social network for chat, feeds, and photo albums, built around encrypted content stored on its author's own node.
Field notes
The architecture separates provenance from content: recipient nodes retain an attributed, ordered pointer while the author's node keeps the encrypted object. The page specifies browser-side encryption, 256 KB photo chunks, short-lived presigned URLs, and Ed25519-signed requests. It also describes group membership boundaries and safety-number verification. The project identifies itself as early software and links to a status page and source repository, so the public explanation is more mature than the site's own operational confidence.
