is a portmanteau of two words “federation” and “universe” It is a common name for federated social networks running on free open software on a myriad of servers across the world. Historically, this term has included only microblogging platforms supporting a set of protocols called OStatus. This didn't do justice to a large number of projects that federate, share same values and are reasonably popular. With the appearance and wide adoption of a new standard protocol called ActivityPub it makes no sense to further divide the federated world into “OStatus” and “non-OStatus” projects. This guide unites all interoperable federated networks under one term “Fediverse”.
Fediverse social networks have many differences from mainstream platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc). For one, all of the federated networks are developed by the community of people all around the globe, independent from any corporation or official institution. This means that you can take part in the development and growth of the Fediverse. All skills are valuable: spreading the word, inviting friends are most welcome activities. Another difference of these social networks from corporate silos is the principle of federation. Mainstream networks concentrate millions of users on their servers. That gives them dangerous powers of controlling information and hoarding users' private data, using it for commercial profit (and who knows what other causes). Fediverse networks are designed to be run by anybody: you are free to choose and register on any server you like, you can choose the person who will be in charge of your data - the administrator of your server. If you have some technical knowledge, you can administrate your own server for your friends and family, at your will connecting with thousands of other independent servers across the web. In a sense, Fediverse is an autonomous universe where power and data are decentralized and scattered across multiple lands, while mainstream corporate websites each made themselves a king (or a tyrant?) of their own huge land, surrounded with high fences, and reserve all the decision-making, data control and censorship to themselves. Fediverse has much more to it than it looks at first sight. You will meet many good friends here. But don't trust our word - check for yourself. fediverse.party/en/fediverse/
It doesn't matter. All the intellectuals will be pushed to the darkweb and .onion network eventually. The darkweb is the future since it relies on privacy and safety.

I have an account on Gab, I'm not there or posting a lot because you know as a white person I have to work for a living. The last time I logged on it was all fucked up, what happened?
But lacks reach and visibility. When you're secure and safe in your hole, you can scream anything you want: no-one will hear you and that's why CiaNiggers don't care to go after you.
The fediverse is quite diferent, I've tried it a couple years ago and it's amazing. You can still have privacy (depending on what server you pick), but you'll have enormous reach since it's pretty much "decentralized Twitter". Even if you get banned from one place, you can instantly mirror/transfer your shit to another server. You can see posts on all other servers and they all can see you.
As far as I remember, Mastodon was a part of the Fediverse, but run by leftists trannies. Then they decided they would protect (read: block) their own users from seeing certain parts of the Fediverse (namely, the dangerous alt-nazi and icky conservative one's). This triggered a sort of schism between them and the rest of the project. There was something about them closing down the source code, some sort of sabotage, I don't remember details, it was a tranny-fueled shitstorm. Someone more involved in the project can tell you you better, but if you hear "Mastodon is getting fucked", you can smile as it's generally a good thing.
Adrian Lopez
Why do we care about gabbai? Go away.
Josiah Evans
Yeah, but Tor Browser will eventually go the way of Netscape. Is there a Tor Browser replacement? I mean, somebody can install a Loonix distro and do a command line installation of Tor if they have a little bit of tech knowledge, but do they know how to use it? Short answer is no.
Joshua Butler
Obviously you care too but we care for different reasons.
i have no idea what you just said. Either way , all of this is dead. Tor is them mathematically most optimal safe way to browse the web now. old normieweb is basically a giant spyware keylogger at this point.
lol the schizoidjew is calling random things he cannot control "honeypot". Your mothers ass is a honeypot kek
William Edwards
No one is joining your honeypot yid.
Kayden Jackson
It's owned by literal jews.
Ian Bailey
Didn't Gab purge a lot of people such as Alex Linder after the Bowers incident?
Isaac Wilson
Brave and Dissenter browser (which are the same iteration of Chromeum as far as I can tell) both have Tor options. On the other Hand, Tor was developed by the US Navy, thought I'd throw that out there.
Brayden Torres
Gab is pretty gay but I used to use it occasionally until they required you to log in using only your email and not your username. I was using a disposable email that I didn't save so now I can't log in.
Adrian Jenkins
How is the node relay for IM and can it act similar to TOR with a Hex client interface?
Isaac Cook
...
Jacob Bell
I've got some more looking to do but i2p has some serious promise.
Chase Phillips
Gab is a great Twitter alternative but the Twitter format itself is awful.
Samuel Jackson
Thanks for confirming that gabbai has no business being here.
Benjamin Wilson
Gab blocked FreeSpeechExtremist.com because they exposed Torba as a hypocrite
FSE is the only free speech mastodon fediverse instance
the whole fediverse is weirdo leftist trannies. do you IRC? have you checked out Matrix? everyone i know on Matrix is self-described anarchists/antifa and almost every single one is homosexual or trans. tons and tons of faggotry
Christian Wright
(cont) also this has anyone ever asked how Torba makes his money? I doubt paid accounts are able to support the overwhelming amount of free user fedposting and shitposting
Brody Kelly
Use Pleroma, not (((Mastadon))) or (((GNU Social))).
for real, i've found that FSE is the only instance that actually allows free speech. The rest of them will delete your posts if it offends them. Most of the fediverse is run by psycho leftists and trannies.
Joshua Butler
got that link, by chance?
Josiah Anderson
yea, GAB's programmer rob colbert made a crazy 2 minute video about it
I'd rather be spied on by NCIS than every other corporation and agency in the world. NCIS doesn't have the time or the manpower to fuck with anything other than terrorist threats and, apparently, trafficking of all forms.
Zachary Gray
yeah, i just found and dl'd. holy shit, is that guy for real? what were they butthurt about, FSE said nigger too much?
is that recent? To my knowledge, I was the first one banned for a non-TOS violation, right after that poseur politician faggot got banned for doxing a gab member (ricky vaugn)
Lincoln Russell
FSE is upgrading their server right now to handle all the new users they have gotten over the past week, mostly ex-GAB users. So the site isn't working too well right now. Try again in a few hours if it is giving that error update message
Aaron Jackson
yes, recent over the past year or so. Many users got banned cause they were talking shit to the boomers, who are the ones who DONATE to Andrew Torba.
Torba has created a boomer safe space.
Logan Peterson
oh yeah, I got banned last summer, for posting the dox of that judge on gab. but, the judge wasn't a gab member (nor pseudonymous), so it wasn't a violation of TOS. I told everyone this is where it starts and no one listened to me. It says alot that the gab CTO is a retard in a trump hat in the $current_year holy shit what faggotry.
so, just to be sure, they've tried to become r/t_D twitter? …probably taking advantage of the repeated waves of twitter bans against less and less "extremist" so-called "right-wing" commentators, like Steven "White Power" Crowder
Sebastian Thomas
were you aware of pepe memes and the StreetShitter420 crew? They all got banned, most of them are now on FSE
You are not allowed to troll or insult or debate with the boomers on GAB. Torba will ban you instantly.
Also, do you remember the guy that was spamming tranny porn? That was me. I did it just to piss off the boomers.
Chase Hall
it's still fucked up. They apparently are having trouble setting up the mastodon server. Anyway GAB has always attracted utter retard programmers.
Ryan Bennett
People will abuse the privilege of free speech and new laws will be passed giving each ISP the job of moderator.
You're still a gigantic faggot, no matter what platform you've retreated to.
Stay on your containment platform.
Tyler Richardson
What a creep. So Gab confirmed yet another circle-jerk. They shouldn't lie about being "free speech" platform. Deception is a sign of kikery.
Jeremiah Hall
haha not judge dread but yea he is a bitch who blocks everyone he doesn't like.
GAB is NOT free speech. It's a boomer safe space. Andrew Torba has to keep collecting those boomer donations, after all. He can't get money from boomers if he allows trolls to troll boomers.
Jacob Richardson
(((fed)))(((diverse)))
Jose Jones
it means federation, like a bunch of independent sites federating together into one massive network. Not "fed" as in federal agent, you mong.
Evan Cruz
The Mastadon soys are having a meltdown that Gab is using their software. Muh muh muh freedom, but not like that!!!!! It's fun to watch when you hate both of them.
Isaiah Bailey
They're having an even bigger one now that KiwiFarms jumped in.
Aaron Taylor
He's taken on the persona of an uber hacker nerd from a '90s movie. Amusing, as Gab is one of the biggest pieces of shit out there, and if he's responsible for the monstrosity, he's quite far from uber. I wonder what Gab's funders think about them blowing so much money on a shitty attempt at building infrastructure, only to end up resorting to Free software, huge waste of funds.
Noah Johnson
Josh still runs that doesn't he? If so, he'll find a way to mess up the configuration.
Nathan Lee
Only respect useful and functional elders. Kill all others.
Easton Green
This isn't a bad thing since it means people will be harder to corral by the kikes.
Repeating ad infinitum isn't going to make it true, kike. Etymology is not on your side as the word has origins from the 13th century in England. Nor can you cunts prove that the owner is jewish by way of his actual family. All you niggers can do is throw up a screenshot of proof of kike adaptation of the name 'Torba' while pretending it doesn't originate from Turkish.
Gab is owned by Jews, it's right there for you to see for yourself.
Jonathan Garcia
from what i am aware, Rob Colbert was freelance and GAB's programmer was his first real job.
Otherwise no coder wants anything to do with GAB. Imagine having that listed on your resume, that you worked with GAB. You'd never be able to get a job again.
Wyatt Young
most mastodon admins are extreme leftists. Some are trannys. Most are anti-capitalist, pro-feminism,etc.
The only conservative free speech fedi instance is FreeSpeechExtremist.com
Josiah Jackson
Why can't I search for text on Gab? I can only search usernames and hashtags. Am I doing it wrong?
Eli Gutierrez
That's the new gab. Better to go to FreeSpeechExtremist.com
Fuck gab
David Collins
Total trash that will never catch on. They can block evil right wing views but all the fag shit and porn just floods in.
They started pressuring admins to ban kiwfarms before they even got the software to work. Josh is a retard but he managed to strike a motherload of salt. Their mastodon instance is kiwifarms.cc If you join there and then follow random other users on other instances it starts to spread the kiwi cancer in the globel federation feeds.
Fediverse is growing like crazy. It has like 300,000 active users, compared to GAB's 1000 active users
And fedi is getting bigger with each passing week
Aaron Gonzalez
Gab is part of the fediverse now. By activity they are #3. By user count #1. >fediverse.network/
It is hilarious how all these mastadon fags where spending years trying to figure out how to get everyone federated are now twisting themselves in knots trying to get people to not federate. They tried to force a ban of gab in the tusky app and gab just forked it and slapped their logo on it thanks to opensores.
In about a week gab/kiwi have managed to completely split that network in 2. The side that will force censorship and the free side.
I wonder how long it will be until they block Clover for supporting Zig Forums.
Landon Rivera
Fucking shill! Fucking kike! Shill!
Tyler Sanchez
Feds call their honey pots the "Fediverse", unsurprisingly ironic.
Owen White
Well the precedent is set now. Gab surely wont be enough for them. Now its acceptable for freetard browser/client apps to build in blocking because feels. If you don't then you will be delisted from the (((app store))).
Wyatt Cook
you are a caved in head mong
fed means federation
just end yourself, mong
Thomas Sanchez
Who cares literally no one is going to use it and it will be dead in 6 months.
Oliver Campbell
False, first of all it's running pleroma and not mastodon.
Second. It's my preferred instance but not the only one that is free speech.
I have compiled a list of good and bad instances here: mediagoblin.xyz/fed.txt
All in the good tier is pro free speech, the ones in not bad dosen't block other instances
Cooper Ward
I don't give a fuck. I am in it for the salt.
Daniel Thomas
I'm not a tech fag, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this "fediverse" thing just a half step towards decentralization and ultimately just another temporary solution until we can go full "blockchain technology" on all of our stuff?
Benjamin Campbell
You can create your own server, which Torba is unable to block or delete.
Josiah Ortiz
Dude that occasionaly uses gab because I like their support of free speech, and the client's not bad. I logged in yesterday, and couldn't find the discussion groups, like the one for white defense. Have they been removed?
Owen Evans
You're clearly a shill. Mastodon is run by marxists. If you really can say what you want there, it won't last for long, and they're probably gathering info on you. kys In what way? He's hesitant about loli, but has relaxed on that lately. Nothing unlawful, as well. He's still great.
Lincoln Wilson
I know that, Alex Linder uses the Mastadon system too and has a free speech server called Pieville. >pieville.net/@Alex_Linder However, my question was, if this has nothing to do with blockchain technology, which is said to be the true solution to our (((shuttening))) problems. Or does it?
Leo Brown
All this time, I thought they were talking about Mastadon, the band.
I don't feel very good about it at all. I am a founder of Bitcoin as well as a Founding Funder of Gab. I was banned from Gab and not refunded a dime. I can tell you right now, I am not happy with them.
Nathaniel Sanders
Well no as long as it's completely decentralized and can run on consumer hardware, which it can. Pleroma can run on a Raspberry pi and is compatible with all mastodon and gnu social instances.
Angel Morris
can you give em some gibs? i need monies
Xavier Phillips
me*
Eli Ramirez
You couldn't do more to support user's point.
Brody Martinez
top fucking wew, the tranny snitch still isn't dead? There are people who'll actually still indulge this socipathic fed plant?
Andrew Gray
You are a shill.
You are also a shill. Trying to degrade the term means nothing. You will never take this board.
Noah Scott
Holy shit, the kikery
Logan Jenkins
kek fucking josh man
Zachary Cruz
I have an account on a medium sized mastadon instance and now half the "federated" feed is gab and josh's fagfriends from kf. They are following themselves from every instance that doesn't bock them which spreads their cancer everywhere.
yea many of those fedi instances closed their registration because some guy was mass spamming a "Don't Marry movement" MGTOW manifesto on all the biggest mastodon instances
Jews are taking calculated losses by pushing people to different platforms. They know they're losing people, they know they're pissing people off, they just don't care. It means that there's less people saying the things they don't want said and that's basically it.
