"definition": "is a new word made of two words: “federation” + “universe”",
"preamble": "It is a 'federated' social network running on free open software on a myriad of computers across the globe. This means that not only are independent groups of people opting in to connect as peers to one another, it also means they are running many different kinds of openly-governed software on many different kinds of networks. There's no central corporation, 'platform', 'back-end', or website coordinating and controlling all the activity. Without such a centralized 'main entrance', it can be hard to 'find your people' and discover which server, governed by what community and running what software, will be the best fit for you. The 'fediverse' (often abbreviated to 'fedi' and used as a prefix) has no built-in advertisements, no unaccountable algorithms, no big corporations dictating the rules, unless you pick a mega corporation as your 'home-server' (there is currently only one such server). Everywhere else, we have small, 'cozy' communities of like-minded people and working out moderation and blocking and other messy human issues at human scale. Welcome!",
"info": "Fediverse social networks differ from monolithic commercial platforms (like classic Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc) in that while your home server can be large or small, or can even be a global million-user platform, it still brings you content from other servers and platforms to which your home server 'federates'. Classic, one-company commercial platforms concentrate millions of users under one website and control policy, where they impose (ideally uniform and non-arbitrary) standards for moderation, trust, and safety; they also hoard as much data as they can about each user to better target advertising directly and indirectly. Fediverse platforms, on the other hand, are developed by a community of people from all over the world, independent from any company or official institution, a voluntarily federating to one another. You are free to register on any Fediverse website you like, and from there, most Fediverse websites give you some freedom about how widely or locally you can interact. The user-server relationship is generally taken seriously as a kind of stewardship in the Fediverse, and most users choose their long-term home based primarily on this relationship, how safe they feel and how much agency they have to publish, read, and interact as they see fit. With enough familiarity with the tools and a fair amount of research, you can spin up a self-hosted or managed service and start administering a 'server' for your friends, family, or community, creating internal as well as global channels and connecting with thousands of other independent servers across the web. The Fediverse is a user-respecting alternate universe, where power and data flow up from users, through self-organized communities, to high-quality global channels.",
