This magazine is dedicated to discussions on the federated social networking ecosystem, which includes decentralized and open-source social media platforms.

Here you can share your knowledge, ask questions, and engage in discussions on topics such as the benefits and challenges of decentralized social media, new and existing federated platforms, and more. From the latest developments and trends to ethical considerations and the future of federated social media, this category covers a wide range of topics related to the Fediverse.
