Some Fediverse alternatives to "big tech" social media:

Twitter ➡️ @Mastodon

Instagram ➡️ @pixelfed

YouTube ➡️ @peertube

Twitch ➡️ @owncast

Goodreads ➡️ @bookwyrm

Facebook Groups ➡️ @mobilizon

Medium ➡️ @writefreely

You don't need an account on all of these in order to interact with them.

Because they all use the ActivityPub open protocol, you can (for example) use a Mastodon account to follow someone on PixelFed or vice versa. That's why they are collectively known as the Fediverse, because they federate together at a technical level.

Also, this is an incomplete list, there are many other Fedi projects out there such as @funkwhale or @inventaire that are not direct alternatives but are their own thing.

Good #Drupal module to post in Mastodon https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub

I wrote a thing... Drupal hook implementations without needing to define a .module file or any kind of proxy class/service features. https://www.previousnext.com.au/blog/hux-alternative-to-hooks #drupal

D9 localization server upgrade initiative: taking care of our translation tools for the Drupal community https://www.drupal.org/project/ideas/issues/3275857

Although sometimes unnoticed by the community, Localize is now an important part of our infrastructure, and certainly could use a dedicated team for this project.

A team of volunteers at Drupal Dev Days 2022 in Ghent (Belgium) initiated the port, based on previous work by tobiasb.

@Gargron whenever people use the argument that mastodon is somehow "too complicated" I like to encourage them to do a web search for "how to use facebook." there's like a gazillion tutorials, videos, online classes, training seminars, etc. the alternatives aren't inherently less complicated—it's just that tech folks have come to accept the way they work as the "default" and so that complication is invisible to them.
