Le Fediverse est un réseau géant de plate-formes de médias sociaux.
Il y a des plate-formes pour le microbloggage, bloggage, photobloggage, hébergement vidéo et bien plus encore, tous étant interconnectés ou fédérés.
Vous n'avez donc besoin que d'un seul compte pour suivres des utilisateurs et utilisatrices sur les plate-formes.

Imaginez

Imaginez Twitter, Facebook, Instagram et autres faisant partie d'un seul et même réseau géant. C'est ce qu'est le Fediverse, sauf qu'ils sont moins connus, libres et sont des remplacements de ces derniers.

Dans le Fediverse, vous pouvez utiliser votre compte "twitter" pour interagir avec les usagers de "facebook", partager des posts "instagram", commenter des vidéos "youtube", écouter "bandcamp", suivre des posts "blogger", discuter sur "reddit" et bien plus encore.

Qu'est-ce qui les différencie des médias sociaux traditionnels ?

Fonctionnalités

Le Fediverse et ses projets vous permettent de créer votre propre média social en faisant partie d'un réseau bien plus grand.

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. Hosting your own 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. It is not made for you, it is made to exploit you and it is full of misleading ads and fake news.
This is because the aim of traditional social media is to make a whole lot of money.
The aim of the Fediverse is to benefit the people.
The aim of traditional social media is to control and steer the users.
The aim of the Fediverse is to empower the users to control the Fediverse.

Terminology

  • Your account or identity has a unique address called a handle and is hosted on one of the many servers, also called instances.
  • An instance is basically a small social network hosted on one server. Each instance can have its own set of rules as for what content is allowed. You can also host your own instance. Each instance runs one software.
  • The software used on an instance is essential for the user experience and possibilities.
  • Many software projects use the same protocol which enables instances to communicate with each other. Most software projects use Activity Pub. Some projects might not have full federation with other projects yet.
  • The Fediverse (federated universe) is the sum of all accounts, on all instances using any software, communicating with any protocol.
    The Fediverse includes more than just social media projects. Any software that federates using one of the protocols is part of the Fediverse.
  • @PaulaToThePeople@ClimateJustice.social is an example for a handle. ClimateJustice.social is the instance the account is on. The software it uses is Mastodon. Thanks to the ActivityPub protocol it can follow accounts on other instances that use e.g. Mastodon, GNU Social or Pixelfed software.

How do I get an account?
