For the weekend: The Fediverse

Fri, September 23, 2022, Ralf Hersel

Since I can’t think of anything profound for the weekend post today, I’m happy to refer to the new one brochure von Digitalcourage from their knowledge series “short & mature”. The 28-page work in DIN-A6 format by Leena Simon and Christian Pietsch gives a richly illustrated overview of the Fediverse and is titled:

The authors describe their latest work as follows:

Do you feel uncomfortable using Facebook, Instagram or Twitter? Fake news, hate speech, and staging put you in a bad mood? Don’t know what’s happening with your data? Your feelings do not deceive you; because these are all good reasons to avoid the social media superpowers. But that doesn’t mean you have to do without the positive aspects of social networks. Because there are alternatives that allow you to retain your privacy and self-determination. Here we show you what alternatives they are, why they are really social and why they really connect – in Fediverse.

Anyone who has had trouble explaining Fediverse to their friends, colleagues, relatives and acquaintances will find this brochure a welcome support. Speaking of support, the booklet can be purchased for a whopping 3.50 euros, with which you can do the work of Digitalcourage supports. The work is also available in a free “fair use” version as a PDF.
