In case you missed it, there's a free open Fediverse alternative to Reddit under construction called Prismo:

@prismo

You can try the first instance at:

https://prismo.xyz

https://prismo.xyz/auth/sign_up

The idea is that each instance is the equivalent of a subreddit, dedicated to a particular topic.

Prismo federates with ActivityPub so you can follow Prismo accounts from Mastodon etc. (The federation isn't completed yet though, so some features are missing.)

@vanyok

It's good to see, I hope more big sites do articles like this.

The more people hear about alternatives from several different sources, the more likely they are to try them.

@hyde_stevenson

I'm not a developer, I don't know. Sorry.

The Plume git is here:
https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume

The Write Freely git is here:
https://github.com/writeas/writefreely

They might have the info you want?

@hyde_stevenson

The plugins take an existing Wordpress blog and allow people to subscribe to it from the Fediverse.

Write Freely and Plume are more like alternatives to Medium, where the focus is on the text rather than the layout.

p.s. Does anyone know which account to follow for Plume development? The previous one ( @BaptisteGelez ) doesn't seem to work any more?

Want to run a blog on the Fediverse, which people can follow from Mastodon etc?

There are several platforms which let you do this:

Write Freely
https://writefreely.org/
@write_as

Plume
https://joinplu.me/

ActivityPub plugin for Wordpress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
@pfefferle

Pterotype plugin for Wordpress

Absolutely not.

Brave is part-owned by Peter Thiel (the head of Palantir) and its business model is based around selling ads, not blocking them.

Quote from Brave's business-oriented website promoting its cryptocurrency:

"The Brave browser knows where users spend their time, making it the perfect tool to calculate and reward publishers with BATs."

Oh wow, it's on F-droid:

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.duckduckgo.mobile.android/

Does anyone know what browser it's based on?

@robjloranger

Firefox seems the least worst option right now, for non-technical people at least.

There are also some indie browsers (including variants of Firefox) that people have had good experiences with.
