Hello to everybody. I am quite conflicted concerning the way I should manage my presence on the #Fediverse, which instances to join, and how many accounts to use.

In particular, I would like to understand whether the way to go is to have one unique account for everything on a general instance, or rather to create multiple accounts in topic-specific instances and use each one to post about that topic only. For example, should I use @tommi@mastodon.uno only for posts in Italian, @tommi@scholar.social for academic stuff only, @tommi@bookwyrm.social for book-related content?

I fear that having too many account could fragment my follower-base and I would lose my (already quite-little) presence. On the other hand, having separate multiple account makes sense for order and organizational purposes.

What is your take on this?

Thanks a lot!
Tommi

This is an essay I wrote. It explains and demonstrates on a socio-philosophical level how and why decentralization is the solution to the most pressing issues of today’s Information Technology, social media in particular.

I love the Fediverse and I love cinema 🍿, I don’t think I am the only one…
I am surprised nobody has realized a Fediverse software for movies, yet!

I am tired of IMDb, and any other alternative is centralized, proprietary software.

What I think could be done is to develop a fork of @bookwyrm@tech.lgbt with the same features, but some key differences that make it the go-to solution for tracking movies you want to watch and that you watched, as well as sharing your thoughts with your friends. I already emailed @tripofmice@friend.camp, Bookwyrm’s creator and main maintainer, about this possibility.

I am keeping notes concerning this idea in the link for the post.

Unfortunately, even though I am a Fediverse enthusiast and I cannot stop talking about it with everybody, I am no developer and I cannot practically start working on this, also because my time is too limited to work on such a software. Nevertheless, I hope writing this post could inspire somebody to code something and start a Fediverse platform for movies! 😍

Of course I am available for anything else concerning the project: website creation, marketing, bug testing and community moderation, etc.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Happy holidays,
Tommi 🤯

I am puzzled after reading this article on #Wired. After all, what is written is not wrong, but is highly critic and makes me question the effective importance of fighting for free software or at least open source

quitsocialmedia.club is also a minimalist website: It is part of the 1MB club.

I spent several months building and writing this website, which contains all of the reasons why it is important to abandon corporate social media platforms, for good.

In the “Why” page I listed >20 different reasons why corporate social media are bad and harmful, also by collecting a lot of related researches, articles, videos and documentaries.

Among the solutions, I suggest to join the Fediverse and prefer federated social media.

Please, I would be tremendously happy if you would be willing to support my work by sharing the website and contributing to its content.

Thank you very much!
Best, Tommi
