fediverse

About

The fediverse or fedisphere is any system of computing systems that connect together as peers without a central server or directory, also referred to as a "federated network". It may also refer to those systems which are compatible with (and connect to) a specific protocol, such as "the GNU Social fediverse" or "the Diaspora fediverse".

It is most commonly used in federated social networking, though there are other applications.

So here are my thoughts.»

[/] You want a future where social media is community-owned and decentralised, instead of a corporate surveillance sphere? [/] Well, those things won't happen until Black Twitter migrates here. [/] And Black Twitter won't touch this place until there's proper moderation in place.»
