lfnw2024.sessionize.comMastodon and the Fediverse: Decentralized Social Networking and ServicesMastodon and the Fediverse is a collection of decentralized and digital social spaces. Decentralization empowers small groups with local community moderation while also allowing worldwide interaction. Free Software projects in the Fediverse include Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube, Mobilzon, Nextcloud, Matrix, Friendica, WordPress, and WriteFreely are helping us re-decentralize the Internet. Standards like the W3C recommended ActivityPub allow the various services to interact. Other FLOSS projects helping build the Fediverse include Misskey, Funkwhale, Pleroma, Plume, Diaspora, Hubzilla, and Owncast. Most projects offer hosted instances. All enable us to self-host as a community or individually. Attendees will learn about: * overview of Mastodon and the Fediverse * advantages of decentralized social networking * how to join and participate in decentralizing the web * history of the Fediverse and decentralized social networking * data ownership * list of some services in the Fediverse * pros and cons of self-hosting
