Cultivating a new billionaire-proof network of networks, the FEDERATE.SOCIAL community seeks to remake new social media alternatives and return to the internet's default settings.

If you’ve watched The Great Hack on Netflix, then perhaps you’ve changed your relationship to social media in the last few years. I launched the federate.social server in the aftermath of the leveraged buyout of Twitter realizing that centralized platforms have fundamental flaws. Re-decentralization is a response to the ways in which the scale of dominant platforms serves as both as its primary feature and its fundamental flaw that cannot be debugged. Federation offers an alternative model to rebuild social media into a network of networks that more closely resembles the original designs of the pre-commercialized internet.

The nature of a network of networks not only inhibits unmanageable scale, but also incentivizes servers to enforce conduct that sustains its position in the federation. People have to choose servers that align with their own values. In that way, federate.social begins by espousing the values of the founder. But we hope that a new membership forms and collaboratively develops the conduct and culture of the community we want to see cultivated.

We ask you to:

1. Slow down. We've been conditioned to demand immediate and constant stimulation and gratification. Building a new world will take time, work, and patience, but it will be more rewarding. Think of this more like planting a garden than simply replacing what you are already conditioned to expect.
2. Experiment. We've been conditioned to accept whatever big platforms deign is in their best interest. We need a place to design other ways of imagining how to engage together online.
3. Engage collegially. We hope you'll experience the liberation of communicating without the pressures of harvesting engagement and attention. Instead, if you've been around long enough, you might remember what the internet used to feel like before big platforms dominated our experiences.
