Social media without Meta, X, and TikTok?!

Social media has long shaped everyday life, political discussions, and the formation of public opinion. Although platforms like Facebook and Instagram—owned by Meta—as well as X and TikTok dominate the landscape, an alternative network model known as the “Fediverse” already exists in the shadow of these major providers. It is based on open standards and data sovereignty, is shaped by the users themselves, and enables both individual and global networking.

On Friday, July 17, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., the Catholic Academy of Freiburg, the Media Communication and Public Relations Office of the Archdiocese of Freiburg, and freiburg.social e.V. to a workshop and discussion at the University campus Freiburg, KG I, Lecture Hall 1224. The focus will be on questions regarding opportunities and challenges, political framework conditions, and practical implementation related to platforms such as Mastodon and Peer Tube.

Among others, Ralf Tauscher (freiburg.social) and Dr. Michael Hertl (Archdiocese of Freiburg) will participate as experts.
