I’m on a boat! 🚢

One year ago today, I wrote "Fediverse for Freedom", a blog post about why public institutions must own their own social identities and content online. It spawned another post, a talk at FOSDEM, and stickers! I'll be talking more about these topics at #FrOSCon on Sunday. #FediverseForFreedom

Fediverse for Freedom – The lost outpost

😞

Remember when “social media” was “social networking”? What changed? That second word: media. It’s all about capturing your attention and selling you stuff. Humans are social and want to connect with one another. That’s what makes the #fediverse special to me - authentic connection. We haven’t forgotten the social part.
