Read Jeremiah Lee’s BlogPost: Interledger joins the fediverse
Jeremiah writes…
In the last 6 months, millions of people started using Mastodon. It’s a new type of social network that allows you to follow friends and interesting people without intrusive advertising or questionable algorithms deciding what you should see.
The biggest difference between Mastodon and Twitter is that it is decentralized. No single company controls the social network. Instead, Mastodon uses a network of thousands of independently managed servers. Once you join a server, you can interact with people who use any other server. It’s similar to how we can send email to each other without having to all use Gmail.
This decentralized technical architecture is called federation. Each server is autonomous, but uses the same W3C technology standards to be able to work together for the greater good.
To learn more about what Jeremiah is working head over to his blogpost to read in full.

ILF Web Monetization Ambassador Jeremiah Lee discussed the topic How Interledger can help creators use Mastodon and other fediverse apps. Jeremiah gave an insightful presentation about federated social media going from outlier technology to being used by more than 12 million people on thousands of servers in just a few months. He also discussed digital creators having their own social media presence, distribution, and relationship with their audience and the need for monetization.
