One of my favorite jokes is about a socialist who's just joined a nudist colony. He sits down next to someone and tries to strike up a conversation: "So, have you read Marx?"

"Yes," replies the other nudist irritably, "it's these damn wicker chairs."

Also, if you prefer to still follow twitter users without an account and without using a bot mirror for mastodon, you can use #Fritter, a pretty decent client for Android that doesn't need an account to work, available on f-droid

For newbies here like me, a very good explanation of what is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse

If you work in product, content or UX design, accessibility is part of your job.

Not someone else’s.

Pass it on.

I've been able to get my hands on the #TruthSocial source code (they do have a link to it on their website, although their website is not accessible to me).

They have disabled federation features. I absolutely expected that, just confirming it for others. It is just another walled garden.

Veloren is a FOSS open world multiplayer RPG, sort of like a cross between Breath Of The Wild and Minecraft. You can follow the official account at:

➡️ @veloren

It's available for Linux, Mac and Windows from the official website at https://veloren.net

Veloren includes online multiplayer options, and you can host your own server if you want to.

Bob Saget's website is down because it's written in Drupal and too many people visited it.

Manyverse is a free open source "off the grid" social network. Each user's data is stored on their own computer or phone instead of on a server. You can follow the project at:

There are apps for Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, available from the website at https://www.manyver.se

Manyverse is part of the SSB/Scuttlebutt network.
