en	What is the Fediverse?
el	Τι είναι το Fediverse;

en	To exchange emails
el	Για να ανταλλάξετε emails

en	do you need to join the email provider
el	χρειάζεται να συνδεθείτε με το πάροχο email

en	of your penpal?

en	How about their phone network?
el	Ή μήπως με το πάροχο τηλεφωνίας τους;

en	[Meow]

en	Of course you don’t
el	Φυσικά δεν χρειάζεται

en	because standards exist to federate these services

en	enabling you to communicate with anyone

en	regardless of provider.

en	Without federation,

en	you would have to subscribe

en	to multiple providers.

en	Or worse,

en	the services with the most users

en	would hoover up everybody else,

en	eventually leading to monopolies

en	and open to abuses.

en	So why should everyone subscribe

en	to the same platform to share videos and messages?

en	Why aren’t social networks federated?

en	Each planet here is like a service provider.

en	With a centralized approach,

en	you can only interact with the people

en	on the planet you live on.

en	Now imagine…

en	if you could communicate with people

en	on other planets.

en	Imagine…

en	if you could share videos, events

en	instant messages, microblogs…

en	with the whole universe.

en	Imagine…

en	if it didn’t matter which planet you came from.

en	Standards are a common language

en	for software to communicate.

en	Your login on any one of these services

en	allows you to interact

en	with a whole diverse universe

en	whilst not being tied to just one corporation.

en	This is… the Federated Universe.

en	The Fediverse!
