Imagine a social network that doesn't profit off collecting and selling your data.
If you're reading this, you don't need to imagine.
One of the servers that are in the main page of mastodon blocks pleroma testing instance (testing.pleroma.lol) these people are a new kind of breed of retards.
@Gargron I mean, It limits visibility of other instances, I mean sure you want a certain line in the server mod, but the federation is for the person to be free to choose which server they want to join.

Decentralised & Free Social Networks
For those who are #newhere from other social networks, here’s a bit of handy vocabulary to #help you navigate this new social network universe:
- Protocol - An agreed format that enables software applications to communicate with (or “federate” with) each other. The two most heavily used protocols around here are Diaspora and ActivityPub. As an end user, you don’t have to care about the protocol you are using and you don’t ever see the “protocol” other than it enables or limits which users you can see.
Nevertheless, be aware that currently not all the platforms (see this word later) are fully compatible and limit you in the possibility of interactions.
libranet.de/photos/vladimirn/i…
- Platform - The software application that implements a protocol(s) for federating. The Diaspora platform implements the eponymously named Diaspora protocol. Mastodon, for example, implements the ActivityPub protocol. #Friendica implements both the Diaspora and the ActivityPub protocols.
- Server - pod - instance - node - The server(s) running a particular platform (software application). The variability in naming is due to the various origins of these platforms now working to intercommunicate.
For example, pluspora.com is one of the many pods running the Diaspora platform; mastodon.social is one of the many pods running the Mastodon platform; and libranet.de is one of the many pods running the Friendica platform.
- The Federation - The collective of servers running platforms that implement the Diaspora protocol. This includes all servers running Diaspora (the software application), Hubzilla, Friendica, or Socialhome. The users on *any* of these pods can connect to and interact with each other.
- The Fediverse - The collective of servers running platforms that implement the ActivityPub (and OStatus) protocols. This includes all servers running Mastodon, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Friendica, Socialhome, or many, many others. The users on *any* of these servers can connect to and interact with each other.
- The Free Network - The collective of pods in The Federation and The Fediverse, combined.
Hope that helps and doesn’t make this seem more complicated than it actually is. The main difference from other social networks is that no single entity owns and runs a platform. On G+ or Facebook, you are locked into that platform/company to talk to other users. In the Free Network, one set of volunteers writes the software and puts it out there for free, and another set of volunteers downloads the software and runs it on their servers and invites us to have user accounts for free. (But you should definitely donate to help them with the costs, if you can.) If we, as users, decide we aren’t happy with our current experience, we can change platforms or pods and still keep all of our friends/connections. On Facebook, G+, Twitter, and the like, you are locked in; and if you want leave, you go cold turkey.
Glad you joined us here in the land of choice. libranet.de/photo/15305924715c… target="_blank">[url=https://libranet.de/p…

I see some people pressuring tech companies to build a machine that blocks entire groups from Internet Society. They must be bigger optimists than I am, all I can think of is how such a machine will be abused.
Today is the 2nd Anniversary of WannaCry. I was going to write something, but I kinda got drunk instead. Maybe next year...

Esta semana, olhamos para veículos icónicos do futurismo no cinema de Ficção Científica. Observamos a resposta física a ciberataques, orientações de privacidade na Google e os princípios da Internet. Recordamos Wally Wood e Junji Ito, enquanto falamos de comics e séries de televisão entre o horror e o fantástico. Isto, e muito mais, para descobrir no Capturas na Rede desta semana.

Could just be caption "Intel tries to get chips to optimize themselves" since the last time they did it it caused massive security issues
