Alberto Quian🚀 Fresh off the press! I’ve just received the printed edition of 'Disinformation and Risk Society. What is at Stake with the Proliferation of Information Disorders', a collective effort to dissect the complexities of today’s information landscape. And guess what? The Fediverse takes center stage in my contribution! <br> <br> In my chapter, 'Fediverse: Decentralised and Interoperable Networks in Times of Disinformation', I explore how this decentralized, community-driven ecosystem is reshaping the digital public sphere. While centralized platforms struggle with disinformation and algorithmic manipulation, the Fediverse offers a radical alternative—one built on transparency, user autonomy, and federation protocols like ActivityPub.<br> <br> 🔍 Key topics I explore:<br> <br> 🔹 The roots and evolution of decentralized online social networks (DOSNs).<br> 🔹 The Musk Effect—how Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover fueled a migration wave to Mastodon.<br> 🔹 The promise (and challenges) of community-driven moderation.<br> 🔹 How the Fediverse can empower ethical, independent journalism in an era of algorithmic chaos.<br> <br> This book is part of the IBERIFIER project, funded by the European Commission, and brings together top researchers tackling disinformation from multiple angles.<br> <br> A huge thanks to the editors and fellow contributors for making this project a reality!<br> <br> 🔗 Check it out here: <a href="https://lnkd.in/dbexg4-M" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lnkd.in/dbexg4-M</a><br> <br> 🎥 Note: The video I’m sharing was generated with AI.<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Book?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Book</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Fediverse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Decentralization?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decentralization</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Disinformation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disinformation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/IBERIFIER?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IBERIFIER</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DigitalMedia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalMedia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Journalism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Journalism</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Media?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Media</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Mastodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SocialNetworks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialNetworks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EthicalTech?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EthicalTech</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PublicSphere?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicSphere</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MuskEffect?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MuskEffect</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EuropeanCommission?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EuropeanCommission</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DOSNs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOSNs</a>

Debby<p>Desktop Grayjay is here! 🎉<br>A year ago, I heard about the Grayjay project from Louis Rossmann and loved the idea of a third-party platform that centralizes subscriptions around the creator being followed, rather than the platform itself.</p><p>I didn’t try it before because I’m not using Android for media consumption, and for the past year, it was only available on Android.</p><p>While Grayjay may not be fully open-source, it’s crucial to support projects that prioritize user privacy and provide a seamless experience.</p><p>I’m excited to see how this project evolves and hope it inspires more ethical software development in the future. I can’t wait to test it out myself! It’s refreshing to see a project that prioritizes user choice and accessibility.</p><p>Any thoughts on Grayjay? Do you use it already, or is it something new to you?</p><p>Check it out here: <a href="https://youtu.be/EnZrv37u66c" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/EnZrv37u66c</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> Grayjay Desktop or <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degoogle</span></a> <a href="https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=EnZrv37u66c" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=EnZrv37</span><span class="invisible">u66c</span></a></p><p>Explore more at: grayjay.app/desktop</p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Grayjay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grayjay</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FUTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FUTO</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/UserPrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UserPrivacy</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/EthicalTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalTech</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechForGood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechForGood</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DigitalFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/ContentCreators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ContentCreators</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/UserChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UserChoice</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/PrivacyMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivacyMatters</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechInnovation</span></a></p>
