Still, Mastodon offers stronger privacy and open-source values, making it a better alternative for many. 🔒

Why not choose Mastodon? 🤔

Open science forms the pillar for mankind to invent a better world, and a society worth living in. Or so it should be, if academia weren’t held captive or willing prisoner to commercial interests. Fediverse opens new grazing grounds for #scientists, #engineers, or anyone for that matter, to uncover new #wisdom and #insights collectively.

If only more #OpenScience tools would add #ActivityPub support to join our #fediverse.

But we have @bonfire Open Science app, and @scifed as early adopters.

The free and #commons-based fediverse grows organically, like a beautiful garden. Social web technologies can only emerge and evolve by #CommonsParticipation, crafted by many people with love and the joy of coding, while exploring realms of creation.

Joyful creation is where #fediverse allows us to ✨ social code the social code together.
