Some interesting discussion on [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11062757 GNU Social, a FLOSS alternative to Twitter] The short takeaway from that discussion, and in general, is that if you join or host a freedom respecting federated platform (e.g. NHCrossing.com - an instance of GNU Social), then you both '''control''' your content; and can '''syndicate''' your content to other centralized services like Twitter. The benefits are many, but it can be summarized as: you gain freedom while also not suffering from lack of visibility or participation in those centralized corporate services. | Some interesting discussion on [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11062757 GNU Social, a FLOSS alternative to Twitter] The short takeaway from that discussion, and in general, is that if you join or host a freedom respecting federated platform (e.g. NHCrossing.com - an instance of GNU Social), then you both '''control''' your content; and can '''syndicate''' your content to other centralized services like Twitter.
