Hey, for anyone looking for an alternative to #Meetup dot com, just a heads up that there's a Fediverse alternative. It's called Mobilizon.

https://mobilizon.org

I'm starting to use the US instance (mobilizon.us) for tech and dance events here in the DC area.

And hey, #Elixir people? It's written in our language.

Mobilizon

If you're in software development, this is your occasional reminder to use your words with care. Try to avoid terminology that is ambiguous, vague, misleading, inaccurate or just plain wrong.

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.
