Soapbox Launches Massive Update to Ditto: Designed for Fun, Built for Freedom

HOUSTON, TX -- Soapbox today announced the launch of a major update to Ditto, its open source social media platform built on the free and open Nostr protocol. This release transforms Ditto into the most customizable social experience on the internet -- a platform where you control your content, your vibe, and your rules. With deep personalization, infinite content types, and bridges to Bluesky and Mastodon, Ditto is your homebase on the decentralized web.

We built Ditto because we think fun requires freedom. Social media used to be creative, expressive, and personal -- remember MySpace? Then Big Tech turned it all into sad beige feeds designed to extract data and sell ads. This update brings that era of self-expression roaring back. Custom themes, wall posts, infinite content types, your top friends -- it's all here, and it's 100% free, open source, and yours to own.

What's New in Ditto

This update delivers a next-level social experience designed for people who want the internet to be fun again:

• Your content. Your vibe. Your rules. Customize your profile and theme with color palettes, background images, fonts, and more. Think MySpace-level personalization, powered by modern tech. Browse and share themes, or build your own with Shakespeare, Soapbox's AI-powered code editor.
• Infinite content types. Ditto isn't just a microblog. It's a playground. Photos, videos, short-form Vines, livestreams, articles, polls, podcasts, music, events, Magic Decks, geocache Treasures, webxdc apps, and more -- all in one feed you design yourself.
• Comment on anything. Posts. Countries. URLs. Books. Profiles. Geocache treasures. If it exists on Ditto, you can discuss it. Write on your friend's wall. Start petty internet drama. It's the open web -- have fun with it.
• A bridge to the open web. Use Ditto to connect to Bluesky, Mastodon, and a growing universe of Nostr apps. No more managing separate accounts for every platform.
• You own your data. Your identity, content, and connections belong to you -- not some corporation. No platform lock-in, no hostage data. Leave anytime and take everything with you.
• Community-owned and made for hacking on. Ditto is open source -- anyone can copy, improve, and build on it. Edit and remix the entire platform with Shakespeare. Deploy it on a $5 VPS, GitHub Pages, or a Raspberry Pi in your closet.
• No Big Tech. No central corporation controlling the data. No ads, no data mining, no tracking, no algorithms you're forced into. Community servers keep things decentralized. Read our ethics pledge.

Because we think Fun requires Freedom.
