Encouraging non-technical people and organisations to set up their own online services instead of relying on massive corporations.
All the recommended services are free and open source, and available through managed hosting providers. You can find out more on my website at https://growyourown.services
🚫 Completely opposed to cryptocurrency, "web3", NFTs, blockchain, tokens, defi, daos etc. They are scams.

There are a LOT of Fediverse projects out there!
If you're a techy person interested in self-hosting Fediverse platforms, you might like to check out the "Delightful Fediverse" list which tries to feature every Fediverse project available:

(It's worth noting the meaning of the emoji next to project names, as the status of different projects varies.)
