+This is why this talk will focus on such a concrete effort, namely the Fediverse, a grassroots network of interoperating websites that try to establish an alternative to corporate social media.

-If you're on Twitter, you can't comment on a YouTube video. But on the Fediverse, you can comment on the video of a federated video sharing platform, from your account on a microblogging platform.
