==== Features ==== | |||
The Fediverse and its projects, lets you make your own social media part of a bigger network. | |||
It has many advantages over traditional social media like Twitter and Instagram. Due to its decentralized nature it's possible to create circles of more tiny social media with users to hang out with. Having your own, so called, instance lets you make your own rules. Most instance owners maintain an instance with their own money for the sake of having their own platform and not for making money from you by serving ads as an example. | |||
The Fediverse innovates on what has worked before and adds many new features. A commonly supported feature is custom emojis, similarly to Discord, it lets administrators add their own (even animated) emoji. The Fediverse also lets you decide who gets to see your posts, with so called scopes, you can decide whether only the users you mention, your followers or the public gets to see them. | |||
==== Morals ==== | |||
Traditional social media is neither social nor media. Meaning it's not made for you, it's made to exploit you and it's full of misleading ads and fake news. <br> | Traditional social media is neither social nor media.
