|

|
||||
- [What is RSS](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-is-an-rss-feed/ "What is an RSS feed"), an article
|
||||
- [RSS on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS "RSS on Wikipedia") (or, even better, [Web feed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_feed "Web feed on Wikipedia") on Wikipedia)
|
||||
- [RSS before Social Media](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU&quality=dash&dark_mode=true&player_style=youtube&subtitles=en), a very interesting YouTube video to watch: it shows how before the diffusion of Social Media RSS really was the best way to stay updated.
|
||||
- [Nitter](https://nitter.net "Nitter") is a Twitter proxy which allows to suubscribe to profiles’ RSS feeds, too
|
||||

|
||||
- [Privacy Redirect](https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect "Privacy Redirect") is a very cool extension which automatically converts links containing the original URLs of the services to their correspondent proxy websites. For example, if I wanted to go to <https://twitter.com/xplosionmind>, I’d be redirected to <https://nitter.net/xplosionmind>.
|
||||
- [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org "Join Mastodon"), with more than **four active million users** all around the world, is by far the most popular and developed one; its structure and functioning make it very similar to Twitter.
|
||||
- [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org "Pixelfed official website") is almost identical to Instagram. It has stories, too!
|
||||
- [Friendica](https://friendi.ca "Friendica official website") it something like Facebook.
|
||||
- [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org "PeerTube") is a great paltform built by the French Framasoft. As the name suggests, it's like YouTube, but it relies on peer-to-peer video sharing to avoid stressing the servers which host the existing instances.
|

In short: after quitting Social Media, you won't become a misanthrope who lives in the woods and who is isolated from the rest of the world. Quitting Social Media does not mean abandoning the web for good; on the contrary, it means exploiting its real <u>independent and open values</u> in different ways.

The concept is this: to stay up to date, you can subscribe to any website's [RSS feed](#rss-feed), even to Social Media pages and profiles, YouTube channels… anything. To publish content, instead, the best way is to [**create your own website**](#website), start a newsletter, or consider [healthier Social Media platforms](#alternatives).

- RSS is fundamental in one field in particular: **podcasting**. Anyone who has a podcast publishes it in one place (a podcasting platform or a website) and all of the other podcasting platforms [get new episodes through its RSS feed](https://yewtu.be/TU5zc-u6dhY?t=159).

The most awesome thing is that all of these platforms are connected among each other: I can follof from my mastodon account someone on PixelFed, as well as a PeerTube channel. This is possible because these healthier alternative Social Media platforms are based on the same protocol, [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub "“ActivityPub„ on Wikipedia"). Thanks to this federation, all of these platforms can interact with each other and together they composed what is wonderfully called the [*Fediverse*](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Fediverse "“Fediverse„ on Wikipedia") (which stands for *Federated (Social Media) Universe*)

Il dettaglio più sorprendente e grandioso è che tutte queste piattaforme, per quanto diverse, sono connesse fra loro: dal mio account su Mastodon posso seguire qualcuno su Pixelfed, così come un canale su PeerTube. Questo è possibile poiché questi *Social Media* alternativi sono basati su un protocollo chiamato [ActivityPub](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub "ActivityPub su Wikipedia").
