Three tech commentators launch a new social platform called the Forkiverse within the Fediverse—a decentralized network that lets independent servers communicate. Using Mastodon’s infrastructure, they deploy a managed server capable of hosting up to 2,000 users, prioritizing user autonomy, data ownership, and cross-platform connectivity. Inspired by the collaborative spirit of early web communities like Wikipedia, they aim to foster civil discourse and resist algorithmic manipulation. The project faces hurdles, including organizational approval and technical setup, but ultimately goes live as an invitation to listeners: join the experiment or start your own server. The vision is clear—reclaim the internet by building spaces where users control their experience, free from centralized gatekeepers. Future discussions will tackle how to moderate content in such a community-driven environment.
