No, I didn’t mean “Hello World”.
And no, this isn’t a whim.
If I believe the world is becoming less of a world — and the Internet almost an intranet owned by three or four Big Tech companies — then I need to look for (and contribute to) the alternatives.
Just like Linux (an operating system), the Fediverse (a network of networks) is one of them. Perhaps the one that still aligns with what I believe the Internet can — and should — return to being.
🌍 What is the Fediverse?
The Fediverse is a network of networks.
A decentralised web of people, ideas, and platforms — all different, yet all speaking the same language.
There is no owner, no algorithm, no corporation deciding what you see.
Each person chooses their space, their instance, their rhythm.
And even so — or perhaps because of that — everything connects.
💬 Why I chose to be here
Because I grew tired of feeds that have nothing to do with my connections.
Because I grew tired of fraudulent advertising, allowed simply because it pays well.
Because I prefer evolving conversations to trend-driven sharing.
Because I want what I share to live in a place that’s mine — not in a network that exists only for profit, never for safety or wellbeing.
Being in the Fediverse is, for me, an act of resistance and coherence.
It is using technology without being used by it.
🌱 What I hope to find
I don’t know if the Fediverse is the future — perhaps it comes from the past.
But I know it is a beginning.
A space where the human still fits — and where words still matter more than numbers.
Follow me, if it makes sense:
PT: Neste cantinho digital partilho o que o mundo teima em perder: tempo, verdade e humanidade. Textos e ilustrações sem filtros nem algoritmos — porque sou livre, porque penso e porque escolho por mim.
EN: In this little digital corner I share what the world insists on losing: time, truth, and humanity. Texts and illustrations without filters or algorithms — because I’m free, because I think, and because I choose for myself.
(You can do it from any application compatible with ActivityPub — such as Mastodon, Streams, or Firefish.)
The Internet is still free —
but only on the right protocols.
And perhaps, here, the world may become a world again.
