A gateway into the global open conversation in the fediverse, for Boing folks and anyone they know. If you're friends with someone here, or the event, or were at the fabled old place, come join us.

Boing.world

A gateway to the global fediverse for the Boing crowd and anyone who knows them.

What is the fediverse

The fediverse is a world-wide conversation between people spread around in different groups. It's as if Twitter let you follow people on Facebook or you could friend a Linked-In user with your Instagram account.

Those companies are closed data-hoarders. Walled-gardens designed to hook you, and trap you, and profile you, and sell you to advertisers.

The fediverse isn't like that. It's open. It's distributed. It's interoperable. It isn't owned by mega-corporations nor is it in debt to venture capitalists.

It also has moderation systems to make everyone play nice.

Boing.world is a node in the fediverse. A bit like Twitter, only just for us, and yet federated to all the others little groups like that in the rest of the world so we can all follow and chat to each other too.

Highlights

Why is that better than Facebook or whatever?

• We don't track you or build an advertising profile on you.
• We don't "curate" posts with shitty AI: Your friends posts in chronological order, nothing hidden.
• We encourage pseudonymity. We don't care what your real name is as long as you're nice. We encourage you not to use your birth name so that searching your real-life name doesn't get you here. It is against our rules to doxx people, revealing their real identity.
• We don't have adverts. Fuck adverts.
• You own your own data. Export it at any time. Move to a new server in the federation at any time. Start your own group at any time.
• Posts are public by default. You are joining the global federated discussion! You may post to followers-only, but that is no way to make new friends and expand our network.

Who can join boing.world?

To be here you gotta know someone who's already here, have come to the Boing World event, or have been in the legendary before-place, of which little is spoken.

If you don't know anyone here, there are plenty of other servers in the fediverse so you can follow our user's public posts from there.

Don't try and use the app store

You can, later, if you want. Apps are available. But that's advanced-level stuff.

For now, just use the web-site. Even on your phone. It's fine. It makes it harder to spy on you. You should really prefer that by default.

Howto

Adam wrote a long Click-By-Click guide if you need a very close hand-holding. But it's not hard! Promise!

Code Of Conduct

Our Code Of Conduct is simple and readable and you should look it over and certainly agree to it. It's basically just promising not to be a dick.

1. This is not an open-invite server. You must already know someone on this instance, or have been to the event, or be from the fabled old place. You must tell us who you already know to register, and we will actually check. So it might take a day or two, unless you are at the event.
2. No discrimination, including (but not limited to) racism, sexism, homophobia or transphobia.
3. No harassment, or incitement, or spam.
4. Just generally be chill, you know. This is a place for making friends and joking about not for making enemies and having arguments.
5. If you want Free Speech run your own server. This is /community moderated/ speech. We will kick you off if you are too embarrassing, but also block other servers to defend you from anyone harassing you.
6. Do not copy any content from this server to any server or system owned or operated by Facebook, Meta, Instagram, Threads or any associated enterprise.
