Ah yes, the Federation!  That's what people in the decentralized, federated, open-source social networks call themselves.  Diaspora (like FarceBook), Mastodon (like Twitter), Friendica (blogging).  After the whole Facebook / Google spying scandals, "the Federation" is drawing lots of new users lately.

What is federation?  Think of it like e-mail.  Many providers, not all on one massive centralized server, but decentralized.  Yet able to reach anywhere.  It's kinda cool.  I've been giving it another shot lately after a prior bad experience, and it looks like it's really improving.
