#Decentralised
Day One on Farcaster β First Gate, Already Locked (Part 2)
First attempt stepping into decentralised social media.
First digital border. Already a locked gate.
This is what leaving the system actually feels like.
Music / CDs / everything in the bio.

Centralisation like this isnβt great, plenty of local of special interest servers that can be joined in the fediverse. Fedi.Garden have more info in the thread. #fediverse #decentralised

Just saw found out about #bitchat from a hacker news post.
Always curious about #decentralised communication networks, specially ones not requiring internet.
Does anyone know how it compares with apps like #briar ?
#Lighter, a #decentralised #exchange and #blockchain founded by #VladimirNovakovski, raised $68 million in a #funding round led by #FoundersFund and #RibbitCapital. The platform, which allows users to trade #perpetualfutures and will soon offer #spottrading, is valued at $1.5 billion. Lighter, which runs on its own layer 2 on #Ethereum, is competing with #Hyperliquid in the #cryptoderivatives market. https://fortune.com/2025/11/11/lighter-fundraise-founders-fund-ribbit-capital-haun-ventures-robinhood-vladimir-novakovski/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
Whatever happened to the .p2p TLD?
Nobody could decide how to manage domain ownership?
Everyone got a real job?
ICANN nixed it?

@michal good to hear! I came upon your post from @xmppbrasil's boost. In case you're new to #XMPP, free to tag or DM me if you run into any complications; I'd be happy to offer suggestions π
(I also see you're running your own #chatmail server! I'd be curious to know your experiences between the two once you've used XMPP for a bit)
#Decentralised and #federated communication FTW :fedi:
Apple removes ICEBlock, app used against ICE, from the App Store.
Another reason why #opensource software, open gardens, and #decentralised networks are essential for free expression of ideas and #freedom in general.
π The #Fediverse, a digital ecosystem based on the #ActivityPub protocol, offers an alternative to traditional #socialnetworks by allowing users greater freedom and control.
π€ This #decentralised system, exemplified by platforms like #Mastodon, aims to create a more authentic and less exploitative experience.
π₯ However, the involvement of #mainstream #tech companies like #Meta, with its controversial history, raises concerns.

Got two LoRa devices (heltec Lora 32 v3) to test out for work! #embedded #decentralised
@psoutham @delta Interesting! Thank you for the tip. I am kinda reluctant to using web3 myself, all this hassle with crypto-coins and wallets. Deltachat might just be my next chat app π€©ππΌ

@ferret #Signal is centralised and was attempted backdoored by the #UnitedKingdom #OnlineSafetyAct and saved by signal threatening to walk. #Matrix *is decentralised but no #QuantumResistant #e2ee like signal nor its #metadata #privacy or secret group chats. SimpleX has both and more. more #decentralised than matrix. quantum-resistant e2ee, metadata privacy, ip protection, #tor support, no persistent id basically "a burner phone for every contact" dms need invites so less dm flooding than matrix
Signals centralisation also makes it more vulnerable to total #censorship all you need to do is block signals domains, being a decentralised network SimplexChat has no single point of failure to censor and anyone can run their own relay node
(ive heard its much easier than matrix homeservers)
Reminder: Matrix is "up". The "matrix.org" homeserver is "down" today (https://status.matrix.org), but that doesn't stop matrix from working. Your matrix rooms are still "up", even those with "matrix.org" addresses.
What does that mean? User accounts registered on "matrix.org" (ending in ":matrix.org") are offline today. Everybody else is still there in your rooms, chatting away.
How is that? That's because a matrix chat room exists jointly and independently across the servers of all its members. A room is not "on" a server. When any server goes down, all the room members registered on other servers can continue chatting among themselves. No matter if the server that created the room goes down. Even if the server named in the room's address or "alias" goes down.
A prominent Matrix server is down today, affecting the users registered on it. But the rooms are not down, for everyone registered on other servers, because a room is not "on" a server. Matrix stays up.
#Mastodon, a #decentralised #socialnetwork, claims it cannot comply with #Mississippiβs #ageverification law due to its #nontrackingpolicy and lack of age verification support in its software. While individual server owners can implement age verification, Mastodon itself cannot provide assistance and encourages server admins to follow local laws. https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/29/mastodon-says-it-doesnt-have-the-means-to-comply-with-age-verification-laws/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
On my usual "thereβs more than Bitcoin on Nostr" posts on Mastodon: hereβs a nice human-curated feed. Look beyond the "Bitcoin Twitter" thing. Follow great folks and tags, set up your own relay and build a tight Web of Trust. Curate an awesome feed for yourself. Youβll find lots of artsy people, devs, photographers, pets, nature, and that old βhuman webβ feeling. Why not give it a try?
