Privacy and the Fediverse (AKA Mastodon, Pleroma, and Friendicas)

There are lots of “new” social media sites and software cropping up these days; largely in response to Facebook’s terrible behaviour, but also because a lot of things are coming together which make it easy to do so. Social Media in general has reached critical mass and has become so ingrained in modern societies that pretty much any social media has a chance to take hold. On the practical side, programs like Mastodon (and Pleroma, and Friendica, etc) are almost trivial to install and maintain. This makes it possible and fun for almost anyone with basic sysadmin skills to deploy an instance and join the Fediverse.
