[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

Be prepared. Winter is coming.

Check list for disinformation media warriors...

- Get the hell off #X. If you are still on X, stop here, because you are not really a serious disinformation warrior.
- Get the hell off #Threads, #Instagram and #Facebook.
- Get the hell off #Substack. Good options are #Ghost and #Beehive.
- If you need to be on #Bluesky because all the cool kids are there, at least create an "insurance" #Mastodon account and reflect your thoughts here.
- Create a Mastodon account.
