In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne chats with photographer Geoffrey Giebelhaus about the Fediverse—a decentralized network of social media platforms like Mastodon and PixelFed that offer an alternative to the algorithm-driven, ad-heavy giants like Instagram and Facebook. Geoffrey breaks down what the Fediverse is, how it works, and why it's a great fit for photographers seeking a more ethical, community-focused space to share their work. The conversation covers the learning curve of moving to decentralized platforms, the importance of hashtags and alt text, tips for getting started, and how the Fediverse empowers users to keep their followers and content, no matter where they go. They also touch on the deeper creativity and connections fostered by this new social media landscape, and close with Geoffrey’s advocacy for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. If you’re fed up with mainstream social media and want to learn about a more authentic and user-driven alternative, this episode is for you.
