the fediverse

a decentralized social network, or "federated universe," of independent social media websites and platforms, which all interoperate with eachother via the activitypub protocol, forming the larger network. this includes several instances of mastodon, misskey and its forks, pleroma/akkoma, etc.

it isn't owned by any one party, in the same way that "email" isn't owned by gmail, outlook, and thousands of mail servers connected to the internet.

i also have an account on the fediverse if any of you nerds wanna follow me over there

fediblock

for one or more instances on the fediverse to collectively block another instance. this is how the fediverse is moderated at the administrator level. if an instance is owned by bad actors, generally people call it out, often with the fediblock hashtag, administrators take action, and it may be added to public blocklists as well.

everyone seems to be debating whether or not they should fediblock that instance, it's pretty big and would sever a lot of connections and followers, but their lack of moderation is getting out of hand.
