Since being on Lemmy I feel like I finally found a place I can consider more similar to my home on the web… I feel like this is the real decentralized web, not the next capitalism nightmare which is the so called “web3”…

Give me some guidance! How is the federation thing going? What are some cool projects I need to know about? I know Lemmy, Friendica, Matrix, Bookwyrm, Mastodon, but I’m sure there’s more!

    Federated Github? That’s… git.

    Federated browsers? Federated hosting providers?

    I’m beginning to think you might not fully understand what federated means.

      Maybe just decentralized i am guessing. Like that would just be open source browsers. Not sure for hosting though.

        No dammit. I want my browsing activity mixed in with 5,000 other peoples. Am I logging in to my bank or yours? That’s the fun! Nobody knows!

          That’s true anonymous browsing, not only does the browser not know who you are when you visit a website, but you also don’t know what account you are logging into.
