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?

Having lots of fun using Delta Chat. I've set up two accounts on my mail server, one for myself and one for my husband. We're both surprised at how fast it is compared to more traditional centralised chat apps like Signal. It's so cool to be able to self-host this and not rely on centralised infrastructure that is outside of my control.

Now I just need to convince everyone I know it's really cool :)

Hopefully this is an correct post about the migration feature/system on Mastodon?

Time for a proper #introduction! 👋 I'm a #MachineLearning researcher at Inria, France, focusing on #TrustworthyAI—especially #decentralization & #privacy. I design algorithms that learn from #decentralized data (#FederatedLearning) without memorizing personal data (#DifferentialPrivacy). My goal? To put #data & #AI back in people's hands, not #BigTech. Maybe one day, these ideas could be used in the #Fediverse? Let's discuss! 🚀

Our era is defined by the rise of #socialmedia and the death of print #journalism

The #newspapers still around have been taken over by vulture #capitalism and the managing #editor offices now shill the #propaganda agenda of #plutocracy

I don't have to describe social media's role in creating our age unless you've been living under a rock

What we need are #nonprofit #news orgs

On #decentralized social #media

Problem is, this is a big ask

But we have to do it

Yes, the decentralization of the Internet is also its strength because it exists for communication and information exchange. Being online and/or having a website is always a lot more than what people see visually. But unfortunately, in my opinion, too few people implement this and justify it vaguely.

"The #revolution toward #digitaldemocracy begins with individual choices. Every person who moves to #decentralized platforms weakens the grip of tech monopolies. Every contribution to open source projects builds alternative infrastructure.
But individual action is not, is never enough.
We need political movements that understand the connection between digital and democratic power. We need communities dedicated to practicing #digitaldistributism in their own operations."

Fediverse question.

If we are encouraged to join an instance based on some interest/community/appealing factor, and also told that we can take our audience if we choose to leave that instance, why does the instance even matter? Are we more likely to see posts from our own instance or server? What is the difference between our audience and our community? #fediverse #socialmedia #mastodon #instances #decentralized #fediversequestions

2024 wasn't the best year for social media... but it's 2025 now 🎉

That means it's time to move to greener pastures. Social media that's open, democratic, and controlled by the users.

This year, we're looking forward to raising awareness for New Social and introducing more people and organisations than ever to open social.

We hope to help them move to truly open platforms, like this one.

Russians requested that @strux@mstdn.social who maintains the mstdn.social Mastodon server censor a collection of Independent journalists named Bellingcat.

Went about as well as you'd expect.

GTFO Russian trolls.
