   #Mastodon is kinda the open source alternative for #Twitter but there's more!

   For almost all 'mainstream' (social) platform there are FOSS (free open source software) alternatives you can host yourself!

   @nolan we made it into a whitepaper, but this is... not well researched
   
   "Instances. We first extracted a global list of instance URLs and availability statistics from a dump provided by the mnm.social website. This site contains a comprehensive index of instances around the world, allowing us to compile a set of 4,328 unique in- stances (identifed by their domain). These instances primarily run the Mastodon server software, although 3.1% run the Pleroma soft- ware (https://pleroma.social/) instead. This is because, since 2017, these two implementations have federated together using the same front-end and federation protocol (ActivityPub). Hence, from a user’s perspective, there is little difference between using Mastodon or Pleroma instances."

   Pleroma is a federated social networking platform, compatible with GNU social, Mastodon and other ActivityPub and OStatus implementations. https://pleroma.social And it has a gopher server.
