The conversion to #Fediverse is being pursued with great commitment at academic #libraries in Germany. The #Mastodon instance openbiblio.social , which was founded several years ago and now has 630 active library and information institutions and their staff, plays a central role in this. Accounts with large numbers of followers include @tibhannover, @stabi_berlin and others.

But @openblio.social offers a home not only to scientific institutions, but also to public institutions such as @stabiwupp, or the voices of the #OpenScience movement @ZBW_MediaTalk, @unzeit, @RenkeSiems

The portal gave the following explanation for its creation: "There are a number of reasons to be dissatisfied with the current development of #Twitter. The centralized and commercially oriented service does little to combat #discrimination of all kinds, #HateSpeech or #FakeNews."
