I am running out of words in happiness becuase most of them from India are flocking towards #fediverse as a sign of protest against the bird site.

Welcome to fediverse you all. Damn we have been waiting for you people so so long. Events after events we people from Free Software Movement of India were giving lecture and demo about decentralized web, peer to peer, etc and all it took was one move by Twitter. Thanks Twitter.

Fediverse is a open garden. Find your place. Go explore. Also beware there are dark places too where anti social elements like fascists and pro hindutuva breeds. I don't want to mention the name of that instance and give an unwanted attention to them. But beware and you can mute their posts if you don't want to hear them.

Hello good people from #India!

I'm Meghnad, an author, journalist, public policy professional, content creator and avid Parliament watcher. I mostly talk about policy, politics and make lame ass jokes about stuff that I see pretty much all the time.

Other than this, I also play a lot of Dota 2, am bigly into boardgames and do a lot of GIF curation.

Nice to meet you!

#introduction

What's happening here at #Fediverse is the true network effect.

There are no paid advertisements. People inviting other people to join the network that is built democratically from the bottom up and has the idea of federation built in.

Without federation, we couldn't really challenge the hegemony of Facebook or Twitter, or Google or Youtube.

It becomes very clear that the idea of #Federation is the key not only for digital platforms but social movements as well.

Educate! Agitate! Organize! and Federate!

Sudden Realization: Switching to Mastodon gives me a chance to create a fresh new chance to create a WHOLE NEW TIMELINE!

W00t w00t!

Mastodon apps for Android: Tusky, Fedilab

Mastodon apps for iOS: Toot!, Mast, Amaroq

There is no app called “Mastodon” because anyone can develop an app (and the aforementioned ones are made by independent developers). You can also use the website on your phone, it works quite well and has 100% of the features.

For a more complete list of apps see https://joinmastodon.org/apps

Why is Australia trying to shut down climate activists?

A surge of climate activism is flooding Australia as the country falls behind on its promise to reduce emissions — effectively ignoring the Paris Agreement the Trump administration just abandoned. Prime Minister Scott Morrison is arguing that the government should outlaw “indulgent and selfish” efforts by environmental groups to rattle businesses with rallies and boycotts.

Tusky was the first android app for accessing Fediverse network. But over the time I switched to another android app called #Fedilab which provides more utilities like scheduled posts, bookmarks, etc. Do give it a try as well.
