The format of the session is very interactive, and should leave plenty of time for discussion with delegates. I am really curious to learn what approaches other&#8217;s find helpful when navigating the social media landscape of today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The theme of the conference this year is Educating for Digital Citizenship and I am super excited to be taking part and learn more about all the topics on <a href=\"https:\/\/sunycpd.eventsair.com\/24dlc\/agenda\">the agenda<\/a>. I am particularly looking forward to the <a href=\"https:\/\/sunycpd.eventsair.com\/24dlc\/featured-speakers\">featured speakers<\/a>: Data, Discrimination, and Democracy: A Conversation with Chris Gilliard and Kathleen Fitzpatrick on Open Matters.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reclaim-Networks-Screens-in-a-screen.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1298\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reclaim-Networks-Screens-in-a-screen.png\" alt=\"Drawing of coloured screens with the words Reclaim Networks\" class=\"wp-image-4947\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reclaim-Networks-Screens-in-a-screen.png 1298w, https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reclaim-Networks-Screens-in-a-screen-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reclaim-Networks-Screens-in-a-screen-1024x852.png 1024w, https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reclaim-Networks-Screens-in-a-screen-768x639.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1298px) 100vw, 1298px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our workshop at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Title:<\/strong> Reclaiming our Socials\u2026 and how you can too!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subtitle:<\/strong> Reclaim Hosting\u2019s journey to demonstrate digital agency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Track:<\/strong> Digital Activism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Format:<\/strong> Presentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presenters:<\/strong> Amanda Schmidt, Maren Deepwell &amp; Taylor Jadin, <em>Reclaim Hosting<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Given the fall from grace we\u2019ve seen various social media platforms experience recently\u2014 from Twitter\u2019s transition to X, to Substack\u2019s implosion\u2014 now is the time to think critically about how to be informed, and autonomous, digital citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re seeing more and more social media users finding themselves immersed in platforms they\u2019ve spent many hours cultivating community and content on, only to feel the rug pulled out from under them when that platform does or supports something that doesn\u2019t align with those users\u2019 values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Reclaim Hosting, we\u2019ve always been more comfortable working in spaces that are as open as possible so that we have as much control over our content and communications as possible. Our socials, however, were always stuck with the big-box providers. With the rise of the fediverse, we\u2019re taking our autonomy back. Join us as we discuss the Reclaim Hosting team\u2019s transition to Mastodon, a self-hostable, decentralized social networking platform, and Ghost, an open source blogging platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll discuss our perspectives on the current state of social media affairs, walk participants through our open setup, and demonstrate how to reclaim your socials!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year&#8217;s experiment in the fediverse, Mission Mastodon, helped me onto a new path to reclaim my social media presence.
