decentralised social media

The landscape of social networks has drastically shifted in the last year. In this rapidly changing world, I can help you make sense of the new landscape of social networks.

Our internet consists of some six centralised social sites. Everyone visits them and they’re owned by billionaires. However, change is happening, challenging multiple assumptions about how the internet works. Mastodon and Bluesky are posited as alternatives to Twitter/X. In fact, they are much more than that, and not just a microblogging alternative to Twitter. Social networks such as the fediverse ask us to rethink many concepts that we’ve grown used to.
