The Fediverse report

For all the relevant news on the Fediverse

Connected Places is the new source that helps you better understand the new social web. It is a rebrand of the Fediverse Report website, to make it clearer that connected places is the place to go for news and analysis about the open social web, the fediverse, the ATmosphere and a variety of other online spaces that form part of this connected web of social platforms.

Publishing under the new name of Connected Places communicates more clearly that the focus is more than strictly just the fediverse. I will not publish new articles on this site anymore; now it is in fact an archive site.

But nothing really changes except the name plus a new website. Plus a more broader view on the new social web.
