Forkers

Forkers is a social network that allows users to create and manage their own separate copies, or "forks," of existing online content, such as social media posts, blog articles, and videos. The platform was launched in 2015 with the goal of providing users with more control over the online content they interact with.

Forking allows users to take an existing piece of content and modify or extend it in any way they see fit. This can include adding their own commentary, editing the original content, or even creating an entirely new work based on the original. The forker can then share their modified content with their network, and others can choose to follow and engage with the forked content in the same way that they would with the original.

Forkers can be modified to be either publicly accessible or private, allowing users to share their forks with specific individuals or groups. The platform also includes features that allow users to keep track of changes and revisions to their forks over time.

Forkers has been used by a variety of different communities, including artists, musicians, and activists. Proponents of the platform argue that it provides users with a greater degree of creative freedom and control over their online interactions, while also fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

However, some critics have raised concerns about the potential for forking to be used to spread misinformation or propaganda by allowing users to create and share modified versions of existing content without clear attribution or context. As a result, the platform has implemented measures to promote transparency and accountability among its users.
