Are you sick of relying on billionaire-controlled platforms to get the word out about what matters to you?
There's never been a better time to join decentralized, ethical social media.
Come to the first Decent Tech meetup to learn about the other options out there and even sign up for one or two.
We'll start with a brief talk describing the landscape of what these alternatives are. We'll focus on two active and growing options -- the Fediverse and the ATMosphere. If you haven't heard of these, you've probably heard of Mastodon and Bluesky. We'll explain the relationship of apps like that to the protocols that run them, and why this matters.
Then comes the fun part -- as a group, we'll join one or both of these networks, follow each other, and talk about how to manage the transition from corporate social media to something more free and fair. Don't worry -- we won't ask you to delete your Instagram.
Additionally, we'll have lots of resources for learning about other alternative services to continue your journey into digital freedom. If you get interested in the nerdy nuts and bolts of all of this, or want to learn more about the exciting stuff happening in decentralized tech right now, we're planning follow up classes that go more in depth.
Free snacks and beverages provided.
Free and open to all.
