Diaspora

Diaspora was a federated social network released in 2010. It is still in existence, although mostly unused.

The federated nodes, called "pods", are hosted by different individuals and institutions.

Like Twitter, Diaspora included hashtags and mentions.

Privacy and Access Control

User experience (if applies)
