With Fediverse software, you can build communities around a topic of interest and optionally interact with other users in other instances. It lets you own your data (at least from a server operator perspective), which is clearly very different from Twitter. The communities around Fediverse instances are tight-knit, often focused on technology and topics related to minorities or marginalised communities, like LGBT or sex workers.</p>https://ulveon-thoughts-f210db.gitlab.io/p/2024-01-06-federated-social-systems-on-irc-xmpp-and-matrix/Sat, 06 Jan 2024 20:34:09 +0100https://ulveon-thoughts-f210db.gitlab.io/p/2024-01-06-federated-social-systems-on-irc-xmpp-and-matrix/<p>One of the most important features of decentralised social networks based on open standards is that they are much easier to own and control, while also being highly intercompatible between software versions, clients, and maintainers.</p>
