Open Source Social Media
John Weeks for Open Data Day, Phnom Penh Cambodia, March 01 2019
How do Facebook, Twitter, others give us free
accounts? Is there a secret cost?
They are businesses and their business is
selling your personal information.
That’s “a feature, not a bug.”
We are cool Open Source People – let’s try
• For Facebook = Friendica, Diaspora, Hubzilla
• For Twitter = Mastodon
• For Instagram = Pixelfed
• For YouTube = Peertube
And so much more -
Facebook? Try ‘Friendica’.
Like Twitter? Try ‘Mastodon’
Like sharing pictures?
Instead of Instagram, try ‘PixelFed’
Want to share videos? Try ‘PeerTube’!
IMAGINE IF:
You could check Instagram updates on
Facebook or Twitter.
That you could connect them, publish
from one to the other.
Welcome to the universe of
‘Federated Media’ or ‘The Fediverse’.
All free! All Open Source. Much more:
The ‘down side’
• Fewer ‘sexy’ phone apps. Phones rule our lives.
• ‘Everybody’ is on FB, Twitter, Instagram.
• No one central place to sign up.
The ‘Up Side’
• Your data isn’t sold
• Local community based hosts.
• You don’t have to add all your co-workers, teachers. 😉
• RIDICULOUS domain names.
CRAZY CRAZY DOMAINS…. OMG so many
Witches.Town
BotsIn.Space
Sunbeam.City
Xtremely.Online
Toot.Cafe
Cybre.Space
americassweethe.art
laserdisc.party
idlethumbs.social
… So I bought one
… FB didn’t like it….
2020 Open Data Day Challenge
• I’m leaving Facebook – can I do it by next year?
• Time to try this and ‘walk my talk’.
• Join me at ‘DeleteYourFacebook.Today’
