Hey Bengalureans!

Ever since
FOSS.IN, Bengaluru has always been a home of Free and open-source software developers, evangelists and enthusiasts. I believe that is just a matter of time before Fediverse is lovingly embraced by Bengalureans.

ActivityPub (a W3C standard) based Fediverse provides several benefits compared to traditional centralized social networking platforms such as decentralization, user choice, reduced risk of data breaches and misuse of personal information, enhanced user control, increased resiliency, greater leeway for content creation, alternate monetization models, self hosting etc. Nearly all Fediverse platforms are free and open-source software.

I look forward to you, Bengalureans,
joining the Fediverse and actively participating with vibrant posts using the hashtag #NammaBengaluru. However, in reality, many of us are not using hashtags. So I created a new Fediverse group.

If anyone mentions the address !

in a post, it will be boosted to everyone who follows the group. (Note: adding ! at the start of the address will not boost the post). For now, I have chosen to add a restriction of approving new followers. Only public posts and replies are boosted. Private messages to the group are rejected.

Let's hope both the hashtag
#NammaBengaluru and the Fediverse group ! will be popular.
