We are all familiar with the names of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Weibo, Vkontakte, Google, YouTube, Tinder. These services may be useful, but they aren’t the only ones.</p><p>Compared to popular mass giants, Fediverse networks are like precious gems. Few people heard of them, but they are out there, waiting for you to find them.</p><p><img src="/en/post/fediverse-saves-from-pickup-artists-and-7-more-reasons-to-join/fediverse-sign.jpg" alt="sign welcoming to Fediverse"></p><p>“Fediverse” means federated universe. There’s no one website to sign up to. Instead you will find <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://the-federation.info">hundreds</a> of websites (servers) powered by citizens all around the world, independent from and uncontrolled by any single company. These servers are all interconnected, so no matter where you register<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn1" id="fnref1">[1]</a></sup>, you’ll be able to connect with friends and users of other servers.</p><p>Instead of listing “one hundred suits them all” reasons why you should switch to federated social platforms, let’s look at reasons for each particular person. That’s what Fediverse is good at - <em>providing choices</em>.</p><ul class="article-list"><ul><li><strong>If you’re an extrovert, linguist</strong></li></ul><p>Federated socializing is your cup of tea. Currently<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn2" id="fnref2">[2]</a></sup> there are about 3.500.000 registered users in Fediverse online world. Compared to corporate giants, that’s like a small eco village.</p><p><img src="/en/post/fediverse-saves-from-pickup-artists-and-7-more-reasons-to-join/fediverse-garden.jpg" alt="image of Fediverse network icons"></p><p>It’s natural in Fediverse to welcome new users, to start conversations with anyone who shares your interests, to follow strangers. Do you easily connect with people from other cultures and regions? Would you like to broaden your social network and become neighbours and friends with people from somewhere on the other side of the map from you?

It’s your space, it’s full of people like you. We’re scattered across Fediverse servers, searching for kindred spirits. There are communities for <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#sciences">researchers</a>, <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#humanities">bookworms</a>, <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#gamedev">game developers</a>, web developers and <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#servers-for-techies">techies</a>, as well as servers run by respectable <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#run-by-tech-savvy-organizations">organizations</a> and <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#notable-mention">entities</a>.</p><ul><li><strong>If you’re a content creator, freelance artist</strong></li></ul><p>Your content should be yours, without granting the explicit rights to any corporate third parties.

Share your talents with fedizens.</p><ul><li><strong>If you’ve been censored on centralized platforms</strong></li></ul><p>Federated social networks do not have one holy administrator who decides whom and what to ban. You’ll find <a href="/en/portal/servers/index.html#safe-spaces">multiple</a> servers for sensitive, vulnerable communities. Unlike on mainstream social networks, you will not be silenced for personal views. It’s customary to share some images and content adding a special #NSFW tag (not safe for work): for spoilers, content inappropriate for children or for people at work. Remember still that each server is run by a volunteer, living in some country with its laws and regulations. Most servers have local rules, and your administrator has the power to ask you leave if you do something nasty. You’ll be able to migrate to another server and do nasty things again, but you’d rather not. Spammers are not welcome, Fediverse administrators quickly react and share information withing the community. Other users have the ability to “ignore” or “mute” people who irritate them. <strong>Being nice to each other</strong> is a tradition here.</p><ul><li><strong>If you care about privacy, are a privacy advocate or NGO</strong></li></ul><p>Then you definitely heard about <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden">Snowden revelations</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/03/facebook_and_ca.html">Cambridge Analytica</a>, Equifax breach], <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://www.wired.com/story/exactis-database-leak-340-million-records">Exactis leak</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/06/manipulative_so.html">manipulative practices</a>, multiple user data hacks, and so on and so forth. Big centralized websites with big juicy collections of data are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://warontherocks.com/2018/02/wall-wall-fortresses-fail">useful</a> for mass surveillance.</p><p>Are your friends aware of it? By leaving mainstream networks behind and joining Fediverse you do not automatically gain privacy. Securing data is hard, and federated networks will not protect you from targeted state surveillance. They will, however, protect from corporate mass surveillance. Especially if you spin up your own personal server, secure it, and host it at home. By inviting friends and family to Fediverse you help them treat their personal data wisely, you also help them broaden horizons, find out more about free and open source movements, become technically skilled. Everyone curious who likes to explore will learn in Fediverse.</p><p>As a privacy rights organization, by opening your own server or your official Fediverse account on one of the existing servers, and inviting followers on mainstream networks to join you in Fediverse, you help make bulk data collection more diffuclt and costly.</p><ul><li><strong>If you’re a troll</strong></li></ul><p>Fediverse has a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external nofollow noreferrer" href="https://mordor.social">server</a> in your honour! Be nice to each other.</p><p><img src="/en/post/fediverse-saves-from-pickup-artists-and-7-more-reasons-to-join/feditroll.jpg" alt="image of a nice feditroll"></p><ul><li><strong>If you don’t like to share your telephone number with “pickup artists”</strong></li></ul><p>Those who invented “pickup” thingy were on a mission to help people stay single, right? When someone weird approaches you in real life and you don’t know what to make of them, why share your phone number or email? If you wish to test their Internet IQ and determination, tell them you’ll meet them in Fediverse. A Fediverse account resembles an email and includes your nickname and your server URL - for example, <a href="mailto:jane@nerdpol.ch" rel="external nofollow noreferrer">jane@nerdpol.ch</a>. Anyone who really wants to connect with you, will find the way to join Fediverse and search for your profile.</p><ul><li><strong>If you’re a big corp engineer, secret agent</strong></li></ul><p>Then you’re clever. Are you capable of empathy? Come on the light side. Transparency is your power, and there’s nothing old-fashioned about privacy for your family and loved ones. Just like for all the other citizens of the world. If you know that at heart, you will be invaluable in building social networking the right way.</p></ul><p><strong>Not convinced yet? Ask this</strong></p><p><a href="/en/crystalball" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="u-block u-center u-emphasize btn-action">CRYSTAL BALL</a></p><p>…and it will show the reason just for you.</p><p>Federated networks won’t track you, bombard with “personalized” ads or predefine your timeline (stream) with algorithms. You will be the one to decide what to see in your timeline, by following the topics you’re interested in (subscribing to tags in <a href="/en/diaspora">diaspora</a>, <a href="/en/mastodon">Mastodon</a>), connecting with people you like, joining groups and forums (in <a href="/en/friendica">Friendica</a>, <a href="/en/hubzilla">Hubzilla</a>). Come join us!</p><p>Fediverse networks are not ideal. They lack some features provided by mass networks. This is because they are not backed by millions of dollars big companies have, they’re developed by people like you and me, in their spare time, for free or for donations from the community. If you want to help improve any of the federated platforms, don’t hesitate to ask how to help and start contributing.
