Some of the features were also inspired by needs of activists and some of the features known from Facebook UX were intentionally avoided:  

"''We also understood that Mobilizon had to move away from the Facebook-style social features that exploit our ego and motor the attention economy. In the Mobilizon we designed, there are no likes, incentives to create the narrative of your life on a wall, and no echo chambers to these frustrating dialogues where everyone shouts and no one listens''."<ref>{{Cite news|last=|first=|date=2019-12-18|title=Federating Mobilizon: one more step towards de-facebooked events|language=|work=Framablog|url=https://framablog.org/2019/12/18/federating-mobilizon-one-more-step-towards-de-facebooked-events/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-01-08}}</ref>

== Technology ==
The software is written in the Elixir programming language with Phoenix, a lightweight framework that takes advantage of Elixir.  

The user interface is built with the VueJS framework.

Mobilizon is federated to a network of instances capable of communicating with each other thanks to the ActivityPub protocol, a W3C standard. It will also enable interaction with other software applications that make up the fediverse, such as Mastodon, PeerTube, etc. Most federation code comes from Pleroma, popular microbloging software.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Framasoft / Mobilizon|url=https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon|access-date=2021-01-10|website=GitLab|language=en}}</ref>
