Is there something like LinkedIn, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?

What do you think: should all government software be open source?
What do you think: should all government software be open source? - Lemmy.World
I’ve been thinking about transparency and security in the public sector. Do you think all government software and platforms should be open source? Some countries have already made progress in this area: - Estonia: digital government services with open and auditable APIs. - United Kingdom: several open source government projects and systems published on GitHub. - France and Canada: policies encouraging the use of free and open source software in public agencies. Possible benefits: - Full transparency: anyone can audit the code, ensuring there is no corruption, hidden flaws, or unauthorized data collection. - Enhanced security: public reviews help identify vulnerabilities quickly. - Cost reduction: less dependency on private vendors and lower spending on proprietary licenses. - Flexibility and innovation: public agencies can adapt systems to their needs without relying on external solutions. Possible challenges: - Maintenance and updating of complex systems. - Protecting sensitive data without compromising citizen privacy. - Political or bureaucratic resistance to opening the code. Do you think this could be viable in the governments of your countries? How could we start making this a reality globally?
What are the largest PeerTube instances?
What are the largest PeerTube instances? - Lemmy.World
Hey everyone, I’m trying to explore PeerTube, but I noticed that the official instance list (https://instances.joinpeertube.org/ [https://instances.joinpeertube.org/]) doesn’t allow filtering by number of users or amount of content. Does anyone know which are the largest instances in terms of users and content? Thanks!

How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?
How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people? - Lemmy.World
Guys, when you talk about the Fediverse to friends, family, or colleagues, how do you explain it? Do you call it a “decentralized social network,” an “alternative to big tech,” or “a collection of open-source networks”? And how do you convince someone to create an account on Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc., without them getting scared by technical terms like instance, federated, or peer-to-peer? I’m asking because my so-called friends don’t believe me and even call me crazy when I talk about this “nonsense.” The future is open source, decentralized, and federated!
