xenmaster's free speech catalog

Either as havens for the deplatformed or as open source self-hosted solutions to those who don't want to put their community in the hands of the google and facebook behemoths, the following solutions are pretty much guaranteed to protect your right to say what you want, as long as you aren't saying/doing anything illegal. Content moderation is pretty lax in many of these apps and unfortunately, many attract refugees with unpopular opinions from the more conventional apps they replace, so proceed at your own risk! NOTE: Unlike my other lists, I revisit this one to edit on a regular basis to add new better options and to remove those which are either shut down, go dark, or compromise their free-speech principles (in the case of third party services).

The hitchhiker's guide to the Fediverse

The federated universe, or “Fediverse”, is a free and open-source alternative to commercial social media platforms. It's composed of a group of federated social networking services, which allow users of each service to communicate with users on any other service. This is typically accomplished using the ActivityPub protocol. In this post, we'll try to present you some lesser-known federated platforms to major and famous social networks you've probably been using for years.

What is Funkwhale?

Funkwhale is an open-source, self-hosted music streaming platform. It allows users to upload, share, and listen to music. The platform categorizes music by artist, album, genre, playlist, and record label, and supports direct searches. It's accessible on Android, iOS, and desktop devices.

Funkwhale enables access to personal music collections from anywhere and supports advanced sharing features. Artists and podcasters can publish their work, and listeners can follow releases or subscribe to podcasts. As a decentralized platform, content can be shared across instances or moderated to limit misuse.

The platform is community-driven and built using open-source technology. It doesn't use third-party analytics, tracking, or advertisements. Users can listen to music and podcasts from a web browser or compatible apps. They can share playlists, albums, or large parts of their library and explore content shared by the community. Artists and podcasters can create channels for their work and notify followers of new releases. They can also embed their content on other platforms using Funkwhale's export widget.
