Fediverse Assembly

Our Fediverse Assembly is dedicated to decentralized social networks, digital self-determination, and the technical as well as societal development of federated platforms. We aim to create a space where developers, admins, activists, and interested users can exchange ideas, learn from each other, and collaborate on new concepts.

A core focus of our assembly is governance in the Fediverse: How does moderation work in a decentralized network? Which models of self-management have proven effective—and where do instances reach their limits? We discuss instance rules, moderation practices, questions of responsibility, transparency, and community structures.

In addition to these social aspects, we offer technical workshops for beginners and advanced participants. Together we set up instances such as Mastodon, Friendica, or Hubzilla, talk about required infrastructure, security, configuration, and maintenance, and share tips for stable and responsible instance operation.

We also showcase current projects in the Fediverse: new clients, tools for federated communication, monitoring and moderation utilities, as well as approaches to improving performance and scalability. We highlight what the community is working on and which challenges are currently at the forefront.

Of course, we also explore the political and societal implications: What opportunities does decentralization offer in an increasingly centralized social-media landscape? How do federated platforms affect privacy, power structures, and the digital public sphere? What role can the Fediverse play in social movements and civil society contexts?

Our assembly invites you to join discussions, contribute to projects, and help shape a vision for an open, democratic, and technically robust Fediverse. Come by, bring your ideas—or simply get inspired!
