Offener Workshop mit Marie Zinkann: Alternative soziale Netzwerke

In the organizer's words:

Be honest: have you ever thought about leaving X or Instagram and trying alternative platforms such as Mastodon, Bluesky or Pixelfed instead? Such open source services are available free of charge for sharing images and messages. In contrast to the market-dominating social networks, they are decentralized, which means that user data is not stored on a central server. They also offer a number of other advantages. In this open workshop, journalist Marie Zinkann presents alternative social networks

Marie Zinkann works as a freelance editor and author for Deutschlandradio Kultur's podcast "Breitband" on topics such as digital policy, artificial intelligence, cyber security and autonomous driving. She grew up in Bamberg and Prague and studied communication and media studies as well as journalism with a minor in computer science in Leipzig.
