Mastodon and Beyond: Our Federated Future
Originally presented at CAT+FD on Thursday, March 16, 2023 by Bart Everson
Social media ain’t what it used to be. Actually, it never was: the fix was in from the beginning. The giant platforms of today were founded with the explicit purpose of making a profit at our expense. It doesn’t have to be this way. In this workshop, we’ll take a look at a social media platform built on an entirely different model, with an entirely different premise, with a glance at the implications and opportunities for teaching, scholarship, and higher education in general.
