Description
"Mastodon is a microblogging & social network based on open protocols and free, open-source software.
As a decentralized (like e-mail) alternative to commercial platforms, it combats the risks of a company monopolizing your communication. You can interact with everyone else on Mastodon, GNU Social, or other compatible software (together called the "fediverse"), no matter what provider each of you are using." (https://social.coop/about)
Example
Social Coop
"social.coop: a coop-run corner of the fediverse, a co-operative and transparent approach to operating a social platform
What makes social.coop different from other Mastodon instances?
- Your data in a place you control and trust
- Cooperatively co-own the instance
- Co-create policies, code of conduct, etc (see our bylaws)
- Democratically run our operations (see our Loomio group)
- Co-finance expenses transparently (see our OpenCollective page)
- Participate in a #platformcoop case-study
- Join a community of like-minded people "
