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 đź’Ş Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.

My rule now:
If a tool doesn’t install cleanly in 30 minutes, I ditch it.
Not because I’m lazy—
Because I respect my time. (I do have to fight for hours if the tool is the only option...)

Hah. Got a paper rejected for bloated minor corrections 4 months and 6 reviewers later. WHY. #publishing

I'm just learning about #SlowScience and wondering hard why is it I just heard of it? Can't seem to contact their Academy. Does anyone know what is the status of the movement?
As a bioinformatician working on genomics of non-model organisms, this new post @manchesteruniv working with cancer research has made me see my skills in a very different light. Loving it! #bioinformatics #biomedicine

Is there a trust index for journals. As in something scientists can use to select which journals should be preferred for submitting to based on their quality of edition, reviewing, and processing? Maybe throw in a bit about sustainable practices in as well, or gender equality? Asking for a friend who wants to turn the tables on the IF. #AcademicPublishing #OpenScience #ethicalscience
