Social media sucks. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are designed to turn your precious free time into money. What we see as a nice way to stay in touch with our friends, in reality are just many hits of dopamine stimulating precise spots in your brain, leading to you spending more time on the platform consuming ads.

But what if I told you that there is a huge ad-free social network out there, not governed by a central authority, full of great people and completely free to use? This place is called the Fediverse. Well, it’s not really a place, it’s many places.

      Yes I know, but it is really the only way I still reach ordinary folk to tell them about Fediverse and P2P networks. My Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc are all deleted. There is little point in only us talking to each other. A lot of what I do is promoting Fediverse and P2P to users who don’t know about them.
