About this session
People are fed up multiple promises of people like Zuckerberg with almost lost hope to expect the BigTech to value users privacy. Projects in fediverse are being build by privacy activists and open source communities as a true alternative to surveillance platforms.
- Intro to Fediverse, a portmanteau of Federation + Universe
- Brief look into protocols ActivePub and Ostatus
- Exploring Fediverse projects (https://fediverse.network)
- Mastodon, Pleroma
- Peertube
- PixelFed

- Guide to self-hosting decentralised projects
Goals of this session
The fight for privacy is into mainstream now. This session will motivate people to switch to fediverse and make the Internet more decentralized and distribute the ownership to users.
