This event features an afternoon dedicated to free software and decentralized social networks; admission is free, and no prior experience is required.
In the first part, a support and installation workshop will help you make the switch to GNU/Linux, discover
free applications, block ads and trackers, create an account in the Fediverse, or resolve technical issues with the system itself.
Next, the event features an informative talk about the Fediverse: what it is, how platforms like Mastodon, Pixelfed, and PeerTube connect, what federation means, how to choose a server or switch platforms, and what limitations and challenges this model presents.
The session is aimed at both newcomers and advanced users, and combines explanations free of technical jargon with time for questions and hands-on assistance.
We recommend bringing your laptop and backing up your data before the
installation workshop.
