The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.

I understand moving away from Spotify due to price hike and other reasons, but is Youtube (Google) really an advisable alternative these days?

Guten Abend zusammen,

ich überlege seit Längerem einen eigenen kleinen Server anzuschaffen, um z.B. Daten auf verschiedenen PCs zu synchronisieren, ihn als Cloud zu benutzen #NextCloud und meine private Kommunikation darüber laufen zu lassen #matrix #elementx .
Kennt sich damit jemand aus und weiß woher man online gute Informationen dazu bekommt? Z.B. zu Verschlüsselung, Sicherheit, Management des Systems, etc.

Ich würde mich sehr über Hinweise freuen. Gerne teilen :)
