FediForum special event: Robert W. Gehl introduces his new Fediverse book: “Move Slowly and Build Bridges” A FediForum virtual book tour event on Thursday, September 11. Robert W. Gehl, award-winning author, professor and researcher of contemporary communications technologies, has been following and researching the Fediverse for many years. He has now published his insights in his new book: Move Slowly and Build Bridges. Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the struggle for democratic social media. Oxford University Press, August 2025. Move Slowly and Build Bridges tells the story of activists, software developers, artists, and everyday people who have built the fediverse – a large, noncentralized, alternative social media system. In contrast to big tech corporations like Meta, TikTok, or X, the fediverse is comprised of thousands of small, independent communities who use a powerful internet protocol to communicate with one another. These small communities can govern themselves and moderate content at the human scale – in stark contrast to the global and advertiser-friendly interests of Meta or X. The Mastodon network is perhaps the most notable and successful platform in the fediverse. Founded in 2016, Mastodon has positioned itself as an alternative to Twitter – one that can be completely under the control of its members, from it to its daily operations to it underlying software. Making a noncentralized, ethically-run social media system is no easy task
