FediParty

A Fediparty is practical gathering to explore the Fediverse: the universe of free and decentralized social media. This session will be led by La Furgo, and the activity is structured in two parts:

1. Introductory talk: We will learn what the Fediverse is, how it is structured and organized, its functionalities, and the different networks that make it up.

2. Practical workshop: We will put our knowledge into practice in a supported, hands-on environment. We will install apps and create our own profiles on the free networks we choose.

The goal is to learn together and take the first steps toward moving away from Big Tech. We aim to create a welcoming, close, and accessible space for anyone with curiosity, interest, and a desire to explore these networks and engage digitally beyond the individualistic neoliberal logic embedded in commercial platforms. We will share meaningful time to disconnect and begin building our profiles on autonomous networks.

The term Fediverse comes from the combination of “federation,” “universe,” and “diverse.” It refers to a network of computers running interoperable applications that enable social interaction. This initiative revives the radical idea of a decentralized internet, where servers freely federate to connect users, far from the control of large platforms.

Activity organised by Gremi de Digitalització (Xeito Fole and Rodrigo Yrigoyen Gonzales)

With the participation of La Furgo

La Furgo is a communications campaign that aims to support political collectives and third-sector organisations in moving towards free and self-managed social media. La Furgo is made up of people who come from the free software and hacker communities, and we believe that, at this point in time, there is already sufficient social consensus that we cannot delegate our communications to large capitalist tech corporations, and that we need to take action to gradually move away from them.
