The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.

@Larvitz you can have a (fully customizable, open source) algorithm for your mastodon feed if you want one.

@cryptadamist @Larvitz that seems really cool and I'm really glad that I'm seeing more and more things like this being built. Phanpy's catch up function is another useful tool. I hope we'll eventually get some things built into Mastodon that the average user can use but keep the full transparency of the algos in use.
@ikuturso @Larvitz i have a vague idea to incorporate fedialgo into phanpy. the library part of fedialgo was built in such a way that it should be very easy to do that, i just haven't gotten around to actually trying to do it.
