My social stuff for amusement purposes only (no wagering):
Social media has become an integral part of our lives. We use it to stay connected with friends and family, to share news and information, and to express ourselves. But as social media has grown, so have the problems with it. Platforms like Twitter have been criticized for their censorship, their spread of misinformation, and their role in cyberbullying.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to create alternative social media platforms that are more decentralized and democratic. These platforms, known as federated social networks, allow users to interact with each other across different servers. This means that there is no single point of failure, and users have more control over their data.
Two of the most popular federated social networks are Mastodon and Twitter. Mastodon is a decentralized Twitter alternative that was created in 2016. It has a number of advantages over Twitter, including:
Twitter is a centralized social network that was created in 2006. It has a number of advantages over Mastodon, including:
In addition to Mastodon and Twitter, there are a number of other federated social networks, including:
Another new social media platform that is worth mentioning is Bluesky. Bluesky is a project that was founded by Twitter's former co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey. The goal of Bluesky is to create a decentralized social media platform that is more resistant to censorship and manipulation.
Finally, there is Meta Threads. Meta Threads is a new social media platform that was launched by Meta in 2023. It is a federated social network that is designed to be more privacy-friendly than Twitter.
So, which social media platform is right for you? It depends on your needs and preferences. If you are looking for a platform that is decentralized, secure, and privacy-friendly, then Mastodon or another federated social network may be a good choice for you. If you are looking for a platform with a large user base and a lot of integrations, then Twitter may be a better choice. And if you are interested in the Bluesky project, you can sign up for the waitlist to be a part of the beta testing.
The abraham.su instance is one of the many Mastodon instances. It offers a focused community and can have custom rules and features based on the administrator's preferences. Users can communicate within the instance or with the broader Mastodon network.
