Open source social media
Open-source (social) media software & platforms (instances) listed here belong to the Fediverse, a network of 1000s of individually operated, interconnected servers using same software & same protocol (activity.pub) to interconnect.
These social media don’t track you. They sport no ads & don’t use AI to pre-filter content. This is user-respecting. You’ll get used to often filter content yourself. The filter options seem pretty grand. Everyone may post there incl. people you don’t like, posting things you don’t want to read or see. The ultimate width of human (anti-)features seems limitless, however these softwares and social media sites running on it work ultimately democratic, user-enabling, undiscriminating.
Most instances (a server with a particular federating software) & the majority of users share common policies against xenophobic, racist, militarist, fake news etc. content, effectively mostly blocking this content from federation already.
