Fediverse

The Fediverse, aka Fedi or Mastodon, is a shitty email clone designed for people too gay for Twitter but too autistic for Tumblr with a long and boring history. Unlike Twitter, users are forced to host their own nodes, which can then federate with other larger, more cancerous instances, allowing for the greatest gay orgy you've ever seen. To simplify further, users can put multiple dicks into one single ass, then they can smear the shit from one ass and put it in another.

After a few disgruntled Twitter users at the Fag Software Foundation found that nobody wanted to follow them or retweet them because their posts sucked balls, they all grouped together to make a shitty protocol and, in the spirit of fossfaggotry, blatantly copied Twitter.

Software

Like all Free and Open Sores software, nobody can agree on making one large, good software. Instead, everyone is split up between 300 unique broken pieces of shit that consume all your memory and CPU and have security vulnerabilities every other week.

GNU Social

The old grandpa of fedi software. This was the first instance that really kicked the concept into the rear end. A lot of the sovl and fun also happened here, if you want to call it that. This spawned lots of (formerly) famous instances, such as freezepeach, smugloli, shitposter.club (still alive), sealion club, and a million single user instances struggling to surpass a lifespan of 2 weeks.

Mastodon

Eugene takes it in the ass from BBC

If GNU social had too many Nazis for you, then comes over to Mastodon. Mastodon is not just a software, but a large and captivating political message. It decided to bring it's own standard into the mix called Activitypub, because OStatus or whatever GNU Social used wasn't retarded enough and, again, nobody in the open sores world can agree on a single standard. It's designed to rape your CPU beyond repair to it's desire as Gargron is too busy sucking furfag cock to optimize it.

Pretty much everyone that used Mastodon was a Gamian Migrant from Twitter. Many of these lusers refer to it as birds(h)ite despite being the core part of the problem. Of course, like all birds flocking, they bring their subcultures along with them and become befuddled with the idea that people can spam Nigger a ludicrous amount of times. This resulted in many "defederations", where instances reject all AP (activitypup) requests, completely walling them off, creating a circlejerk of homosexual monkeys flailing shit all over the walls.

It's gained quite a following ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, with millions of users flocking to the same 2 instances because they don't know how Federation works and expect this to be another Twitter clone.

Pleroma

Pleroma was the final nail in the coffin for GNU Social, where some faggot named Lain created his own fedi software in a dogshit foreign language known as Elixir, making it impossible for outsiders without Autism to contribute. Ever since it's birth, essentially left GNU Social to rot in a pit for eternity until there were only 3 GS instances remaining. Instances like Shitposter.club and smugloli migrated to Pleroma, while the rest burned to the ashes never to be seen again.

Pleroma carried a lot of culture over from GNU Social, with various jokes like "cum", "suya", and "benis" and basically everything a toddler would mutter. Nobody who isn't mentally retarded actually laughs at these.

Pleroma as a software contains too many features that nobody cares about, including MRF's, which can basically filter all incoming/outgoing federation requests allowing you to do as you please, such as showing block messages, unfollow messages, etc.

Rebased, formerly Soapbox

Soapbox is the last recognizable software, initially a fork of Pleroma created by a fat retarded vegan named Alex Gleason for the sole purpose of making a webshit frontend for Gab. Eventually, he broke off from Gab and made Soapbox a Mastodon frontend, and then eventually made his own Pleroma fork called Soapbox using his own Soapbox frontend.

The backend, "Rebased" has nothing of value to give for itself except for fixing some of the Pleroma shit faster and removing useless features. The frontend resembles modern Twitter aka it's shit.

Soapbox has been known for repeatedly causing shitstorm by le oldheads on the Fediverse, by trying too hard to be normie friendly and putting mentions in their own section instead of in the post (this caused seethe from oldheads for MONTHS, when its actually just Pleroma-FE developers being lazy and retarded and not displaying these mentions to begin with)

The developer is also a TERF (male) and runs several instances. As expected, this causes mucho seethe, to the point of Mastotroons defederating from instances running the software entirely.

Revolver

It's vaporware.

no source code available, either.

Notable Instances

Also known as nodes, there are several instances with a Nice history lesson and a community of their own.

Free speech extremist

An instance hosted by Pete running Revolver... err, probably just Pleroma with some weird nginx fuckery to make it stick out. Contains pretty much every genre of luser, evar.

A popular debate that came up from time to time was the "Loli question", something something about Lolita requiring a defederation or not. Pete is also know to have schizo meltdowns where he spits out random IP addresses of "presumed" malicious actors, and also censors people who he doesn't like with MRF's (so much for muh freeze peach!).

Shitposter.club

Probably the most chill and cool instances around. Sometimes they might say Neighbor or Maggot here and there but for the most part it's a very friendly instance hosting some oldheads and newfriends of all kind. Used to run GNU Social, but that's in the past.

Poa.st

Who nose?

Probably the most notorious and largest of all the Pleroma instances. So large it could take up it's own Wiki page. It's hosted by Graf aka Daniel Stevens, a former Twitter user who kept getting banned. This instance primarily claims to host shitposters, but it's mainly just a shithole full of Autistic Nazis and all the bottom of the barrel /pol/tards.

Despite being a safe space for Yatzee's, it's quite hypocritical that it defederates from lots of instances due to "doxxxxxing", to the point where people would simply post a doxed users Jewish wife's nose as an emoji, causing said instances to be defederated. Very lulzy indeed.

Obviously, Mastodongers hate this instance, but even some of the oldtroons and free speech/shitposter instances despise it. It's generally known for causing quite a lot of noise and attracting some of the worst of the Twitter ecelebs that nobody cares about. Most good users who learn about Fedi from Poast move onto another instance. Some of the users are fine, like @BigDuck.

This instance was hacked due to a Pleroma vulnerability, leaking all the DM's and such and etc. Lotta nudes posted by absolute mongoloid retards.

Bae.st

Formerly known as neckbeard.xyz, but was taken down by the registrar for ebic trolling. This instance mostly contains all the coomers and pedophiles (2d only) of all variants. The owner is SJW, and while being a terminally online coomer, some presume he's just dedicated to his bit and is otherwise nice.

Also got DM's leaked due to a Pleroma vulnerability, but nothing of value was really leaked here since Bae.st users know better than to use DM's.

Kiwifarms.cc

Instance known to host the special form of Autism. Surprisingly, this instance was not as cancerous as it's decedent, and hosted quite a plethora of chill and otherwise friendly users from the Farms. It's almost night and day compared to the forums, and was nowhere near as horrible as something like Poast.

In kiwifarms spirit, this instance would go down, like ALL the time because angry trains kept DDoSing it.

Free Cum Extremist

Named in honor of Free Speech Extremist, FCE hosted lots of fun users and carried on some maymays. It was hosted by a pink cat named Grumbulon and gave birth to many shitposts and inside jokes, partially irony poised humor.

Honorable mention in regards is Sleepy.cafe, which hosted a similar group of people, although mostly from the Twitter isle... and definitely doesn't have a funny domain like FCE

Spinster.xyz

Instance hosted by Alex Gleason and his wife. Hosts mostly normalfag TERFs who weren't accepted on Twitter.

Do not let this man in your house.

Honorable Mentions

• gleasonator.com - Instance hosted by Alex Gleason and the main beta test place for Copebox.
• rdrama.cc - Hosted by... you guessed it, ME, nekobit, the guy making this page. Shut down due to Pleroma vulnerabilities and shit and laziness.
• ryona.agency - Hosted by some russian named Mint. Very well known for it's Fediblock Reverse Search tool.
• clubcyberia.co - Hosted a lot of refugees when sleepy.cafe and freecumextremist.com got shut down.
• cum.salon / cum.camp - Instance hosting the well known user Pernia, and just causing a ruckus in general. The former was an heroe'd by the domain registrar.
• pleroma.soykaf.com - OG Pleroma instance by the developer, Lain.

The Gabbening

Gab.ai (not to be confused with Gabai, or simply Gab, is a microblogging website created by Andrew Torba specifically for the alt-right. Of course, since Torba could not just hire competent programmers to create their own social media backend, he instead sucked Alex Gleason's dick to make him a frontend for the Nazi software known as Mastodon. Lulz and laughs ensued. Everyone shit on Gab, leftists and rightoids, pedophiles and shitposters. It was a like a commemorative family event.

Many Gabbers had no clue what federation actually was, and genuinely believed that those users were part of the Gab community. Most of them were Q boomers and couldn't operating a computer if they tried, let alone the internet.

Of course, it was quite a simple community raid and this spawned a video of Torba seething and crying about federation. Anime, Loli, Nigger spam, etc etc, all was thrown at the Gabbers. It was probably the most lulzy thing that ever came out of the Fediverse, and that's saying a lot.

That one time ED joined the Fediverse

Encyclopedia Dramatica ran a Soapbox instance at dramatica.online, oh wait.. now it's a Pleroma instance. Oh wait, now it's down. Many such cases!
