## 🚀 About

**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.

## ✨ Key Idea

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**

---

## 🌍 Community Servers (Niche Networks)

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.

---

## ⚙️ Advanced Setting (Coming Soon)

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.**

---

## ✅ Project Goals

- Provide a self-hostable social networking platform
- Reduce dependency on centralized social monopolies
- Enable niche and community-owned networks
- Support server selection across deployments
