It was great to teach about the #Fediverse today! "Mainstream platforms concentrate millions of users on one website, where they control all the decision-making, enforce censorship, and hoard users' private data for commercial profit and spying. Fediverse networks, on the other hand, are developed by a community of people all around the globe, independent from any corporation or official institution."
