pump.io (pronounced "pump eye-oh") is a general-purpose activity stream engine that can be used as a federated social networking protocol which "does most of what people want from a social network".[4][1] Started by Evan Prodromou, it is a follow-up to GNU Social (formerly StatusNet), and is designed to be more lightweight and usable for general data instead of just microblogging.[5] The largest StatusNet instance at the time, Identi.ca, which was the largest StatusNet service and was run by Prodromou, switched to pump.io in June 2013.[6]
As a distributed social network, pump.io is not tied to a single site. Users across servers can subscribe to each other, and if one or more individual nodes go offline the rest of the network remains intact.
The protocol was later used as a template for the creation and standardization of the ActivityPub standard, and development of pump.io has since been discontinued, with the latest version of the engine being released in 2020 and further development of the codebase ending in 2022.[7]
