   I was idly wondering what the social media equivalent of software freedom would be. Then it hit me, with the weight of revelation;

   Social freedom.

   It encapsulates the human rights amd civil liberties that decentralised networks are structurally better at protecting. As well as the software freedom ideas that translate those rights and liberties into technical terms.

   Anyone keen to help start a formal coordination and lobbying body called something like Social Freedom Network?

     @strypey How do you envision translating the concept of "social freedom" into actionable principles? What kind of help are you seeking to launch the Social Freedom Network? How would the proposed Social Freedom Network work practically? Would it be focused on policy advocacy, technical standards, something else? What role do you see for existing decentralized social networks (like Mastodon, Diaspora, or others) in advancing this concept of social freedom?
