11 Decentralized, Open Source Alternative Social Media Platforms
Tired of Big Tech prying on your data and invading your privacy? Here are some open source, decentralized alternate social platforms.Abhishek Prakash (It's FOSS)
So Nextcloud believes:
"#Privacy is a fundamental human right" Only posts videos to #Google's #YouTube.
"building #decentralized alternatives" Only posts videos to a centralized platform.
"We believe in open source" only post Videos to a proprietary platform.
"We value sustainability". Only posts videos to the platform using the most energy.
"users time is important", Only posts to a platform with forced ads.
"fostering diversity/community." Avoids community video networks eg #Peertube.
🤔
So exciting! Please consider mirroring these talks on #peertube as @penpot did with their latest #penpotfest @penpot_app
What better way to promote #decentralized platforms and #foss #floss alternatives, it seems like a perfect fit😀
DWeb New York May 2023
About this event
Come hang out with folks associated with DWeb principles in New York City. This month we're being hosted at Blackbird Infoshop in Kingston, NY.
We will have a presentation on peer-to-peer technology and mapping by Mauve (github) followed by a hike in the Hudson River Valley.
Mauve is an Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Mapping has long been a tool of coercion and control, let's take back our geography!
(We will stream the non-hike portion via https://chat.celehner.com/group/cchat)
How to get to Kingston via mass transit
Via Trailways bus from NYC port authority: https://trailways.com/schedules/bus-from-kingston-ny-to-new-york-ny/
Via MetroNorth from NYC's Grand Central Station
From either of these locations, you will need a lift to Blackbird. Please contact the coordinators. There are rides available.
Come hang out with folks associated with DWeb principles in New York City. This month we're being hosted at Biotech Without Borders, a member-led community lab providing low-cost access to molecular biology facilities and other biotech-related tools.
As food for thought, members of the lab ask you to consider the question: What do you want out of a decentralized research institution and what types of projects could it enable that aren't possible in traditional institutions (industry R&D, academia) because of our current incentives?
Come up to Suite 319. Please keep the door(s) propped open and if you're unable to get in please call or text 7086371289 and someone will come down.
Hope to see you there!
