Join us for a ride to celebrate the Fediverse, a federation of independent servers that form their own decentralized social media network! Hate Twitter? Sick of Facebook? Tired of Reddit, YouTube, Instagram and whatever online horror comes next? Fear not, for there are alternatives! Calling all you tired devs, FOSS enthusiasts, Linux girls, hackers of various hat colors, DIY anarcho-punks, infosec wizzes, treasure-hunting internet-sailing scoundrels, and anyone who's just plain sick of billionaires ruining everything online -- we ride for a freer, healthier, stronger internet! This will be a 6 mile, one-way course. The route starts at Shemanski park, crosses Hawthorne Bridge to Ladd's Addition, weaves up to Laurelhurst, crosses into Hollywood via Sandy, and ends at Grant Park.
