Their mission is to gradually establish open alternatives to today’s closed, proprietary services like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram while enabling entirely new services to be invented that will connect people and content in new ways that are far healthier, more transparent and less manipulated.įlipboard is passionate about the Fediverse and all it stands for, so we are taking two initial steps today: The Fediverse is a revolution years in the making by a pioneering group of engineers and technologists similar to the ones who created the web. Change is badly needed and the Fediverse represents a fundamentally more open and equitable approach to social media. Why is this interesting? Because most social media today is controlled by a few large proprietary platforms, often with leaders who value engagement at all costs, regardless of the impact on our democracies, societies and mental health. These services and others are in their early days but they hold tremendous promise. Other Fediverse services include PixelFed, an open photo-sharing service similar to Instagram PeerTube, a nascent video-sharing service that resembles YouTube, and BookWyrm, an entirely new way to form book clubs online. Collectively, these services form a new part of the World Wide Web called the Fediverse. It’s one of several new social media services that are federated (aka connected) to each other via ActivityPub, which is an open protocol adopted by the W3C, the standards body for the World Wide Web.
Mastodon is an emerging microblogging service similar to Twitter, only a lot more open and a lot more benevolent. Our long-term goal, however, is much, much larger. Our immediate goal is to provide you with a new source of great content and conversation while helping our curators connect with new audiences. Today we’re making it easy for you to sign up for Mastodon and flip through it all on your Flipboard. Why Mastodon, ActivityPub and the Fediverse Will Change Social Media Forever
