The FUTURE is FEDERATED

“Why did you choose Mastodon and not Bluesky?” This is my answer to that question. It begins with a law from the turn of the millennium that was initially described as a failure, takes a path through domain names I've owned for nearly three decades, a need to test the winds, and ultimately lands on the fact that right now, I prioritize “decentralized” over “decentralizable” as a matter of principle.

"I’m going to describe a few unfortunate things that can happen in a #decentralized world, then look at a basic built-in feature of the Web that might make the problems go away." - https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/16/Decentralized-Schemes

I used to be an avid member of #DeviantArt, but have since been uninspired by the mass production of AI-generated art. I am not only an #artist but also an #artlover. I used to enjoy discovering new #art and artists on that platform but, unfortunately, all the artists are getting buried amongst the AI. You literally have to sift through the shit in order to find real art. I also removed my #Instagram account; I prefer #decentralized #opensource platforms. Hello, #Fediverse, my new home!

What is the best #decentralized #messenger out there for the long run?

The more I read, the more I understand, the more I think #bluesky is a #decentralized scam.

"Protecting #democracy from threats created by Internet #platforms is a laudable goal. But it is not worth the cost imposed by legislative attempts so far: empowering the government to control legal speech online. Lawmakers’ attempts to impose their own top-down speech rules are particularly unwarranted given the far more promising possibilities offered by #usercontrolled and #decentralized #contentmoderation systems."

Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms.

It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.

Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best?

#alternative #madeineurope #decentralized @european_alternatives

Anybody know of a good alternative to #matrix for #e2ee #decentralized chat?

Consieering #xmpp again. Have tried #jami

#matrix is pretty good but maintaining it is more hassle than I'd like, and my local users don't really benefit from the #federation aspect much.

Just shopping I guess

We're helping people join the open social web.

By showing them that they can:
- Own their community
- Escape the billionaires
- Rediscover what makes social good

What else should we tell them about the open social web? Why do you love it?
