If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. If they see that the internet wasn’t built to be a factory for engagement metrics and AI-generated content farms. It was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account,” she writes. </p><p><a href="https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">joanwestenberg.com/the-fediver</span><span class="invisible">se-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/JoanWestenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JoanWestenberg</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/OpenSocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSocialWeb</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/WalledGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WalledGardens</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>

Kellam⚙️Бур<p>🤖👁️🔗 🚀 🧠 <br> The Newsmast Foundation is advocating for an "open social web" that contrasts with the centralized models of traditional social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This concept involves decentralized networks, part of what's known as the Fediverse, including platforms such as Mastodon and Bluesky. These alternatives aim to give users more control over their online presence by decentralizing the hosting and management of data.</p><p>The appeal of this model lies in its promise of greater autonomy for users and less surveillance compared to centralized systems, which have been criticized for monopolizing data and having biased algorithms. In a decentralized setting, users could potentially manage their own spaces without relying on a single corporation's infrastructure or policies.</p><p>Decentralized networks also encourage diversity by allowing interaction across different platforms using ActivityPub protocols. This contrasts with traditional social media that often isolates users within its ecosystem, creating "walled gardens."</p><p>However, challenges remain in managing issues like hate speech and misinformation without the centralized oversight of content moderation teams found on larger platforms. While each decentralized instance can set its own rules, this could lead to inconsistency and fragmentation.</p><p>The movement towards decentralized social networks seems to target audiences already familiar with these alternatives, but their mainstream adoption remains uncertain. The sustainability of such platforms may rely on community-driven support or alternative revenue models that prioritize user privacy.</p><p>Technical accessibility is another concern; more complex interfaces might deter less tech-savvy users, potentially limiting diversity. Additionally, decentralization could lead to echo chambers if communities become insulated from differing viewpoints.</p><p>Scalability also poses questions, as decentralized networks must handle large numbers of users and manage data efficiently without centralized infrastructure.</p><p>In conclusion, while the Newsmast Foundation's vision is inspiring for its emphasis on user control and freedom, it faces significant challenges in practical implementation regarding governance, inclusivity, technical accessibility, business sustainability, potential echo chambers, and scalability. These factors will influence whether decentralized social media can effectively replace current platforms. <a href="https://m.ocsf.in/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://m.ocsf.in/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://m.ocsf.in/tags/OpenSocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSocialWeb</span></a> </p><p>Reply to <a href="https://newsmast.social/@newsmast/114155245677775792" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newsmast.social/@newsmast/1141</span><span class="invisible">55245677775792</span></a></p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>And to be clear, I had nothing to do with this petition and certainly not trying to take credit. I stumbled across it in my feed last night! </p><p>So excited to see MP Angus taking this up and spreading it far and wide. Next to Trudeau and Poillievre, he's probably the most influential MP on Canadian social media. </p><p>It's so great to see him promoting this and huge kudos to Justin Willcott from Calgary for the petition!

damon<p>I’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/iftas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IFTAS</a> has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/opensocialweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSocialWeb</a> yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? <a href="https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas-funding-crisis/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas-funding-crisis/</a> <a href="https://about.iftas.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://about.iftas.org/</a></p>
