A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
The TOR network is indeed the most widely-used implementation of onion routing, but it isn't the only example.
My go-to reference is Retroshare, an open-source app that implements onion routing on top of an encrypted friend-to-friend network:

You only connect to your trusted friends, but by passing messages along the Kevin Bacon chain it's still possible to reach practically anyone on the network. Retroshare's built-in services include email, instant messaging, traditional web forums, microblogging, and Reddit-style karma-ranked forums/linkboards, and third party plugins include voice and video chat. It's desktop-only, but I think it demonstrates that serverless social networks are possible.
