The next in a regular series of local meetups for people who use the Fediverse or are interested in doing so!

About the Fediverse

Most social sites — such as X/Twitter or Instagram — are centralized and corporate owned. The Fediverse is decentralized and huge. FediDB currently tracks over 42,000 servers, run by thousands of independent operators. https://fedidb.com/servers

The Fediverse is not owned by a single company. It's an open, federated network of services on the Internet that speak a common communication standard.

There are many services on the Fediverse, such as social messaging, photo sharing, and video sharing. The Mastodon service is most popular for social messaging and chat. If you'd like to join the Fediverse, look into getting onto Mastodon. https://joinmastodon.org/
