As I’ve written several times before, there are alternatives to for example Facebook, but many people don’t realise it. But the timing of the Nordic think tank’s proposal is good because the technology has evolved and there are now plug-and-play <br />solutions. Mastodon is the answer. Or the technology on which Mastodon is built, a protocol called ActivicyPub, which it getting more and more popular. Mastodon is a relatively new social media ‘platform’, developed in Germany, with over 10 million <br />users, as many people are fleeing Twitter in favour of Mastodon. The difference between Mastodon and then Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat and TikTok is that it is not owned by one large central profit-hungry corporation that harvests our personal <br />data, personalises content, develops addictive algorithms or makes money from fake news.

Data Ethics knows that reforming Big Social is a lost cause. It will not create the conditions for democratic discourse.

If we want social media that's for the people -- not owned by billionaire monopolists -- the Fediverse is the answer.
