Platform: unknown

Hi TestUser,

I saw that you are on unknown and I'd like to follow you!

But did you know that because I am not a user on unknown, I cannot follow you from elsewhere?

There is no technical reason for this, the restriction is purely unknown's choice because they want more users on it.

However, I believe you don't need to be on unknown because <strong>there is an alternative on the open web</strong>!

The alternative is called the Fediverse which is not controlled by a central entity and thus doesn't impose such restrictions.

What makes these platforms more open?

They are based on the ActivityPub protocol, an open standard that allows all these services to be interoperable with each other.

What makes them a little harder to use?

Because they are not centralized, you need to choose a server (sometimes called instance). Often financed through donations or membership fees, they are rarely run by companies. Choice can be a bit overwhelming, but you'll be helped on the respective info sites:
