Our universe is called the Fediverse.</p><p>2. There is what we call <a href="https://c.im/tags/DarkMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DarkMatter</span></a>, it glues everything together preventing the universe from being torn apart. This dark matter is everywhere, and it is through this that communications across the universe is possible, we call this technology <a href="https://c.im/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a>.</p><p>3. There are countless of galaxies, some still being born, some already known, like: <a href="https://c.im/tags/Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Friendica</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Calckey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Calckey</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hubzilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hubzilla</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rebased" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Rebased</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Streams" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Streams</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bookwyrm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bookwyrm</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FunkWhale" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FunkWhale</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PeerTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PeerTube</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WriteAs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WriteAs</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lemmy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lemmy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mastodon</span></a>.</p><p>4. Each galaxy contains different worlds. Some are flat, some round, some a generational ship, and some wayward worlds dubbed <a href="https://c.im/tags/WanderingEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WanderingEarth</span></a>. These are the worlds that I've visited so far:</p><p> * c.im - the people here believes the world is round, because of this unusual belief, they can say things up to 5,000 characters. This world is in the Mastodon galaxy, where many of the other worlds are flat 500 characters.</p><p> * hashi.icu - this world is a generational ship. They travel to different worlds, creating bridges, their motto: ICU (you know, I See You). Oh, be warned, they speak up to 300,000 characters! After all, they have plenty of stories to tell.</p><p> * c.wtf - this world was recently founded in the Rebased galaxy. Like their origin world, c.im, they can speak up to 5,000 characters.</p><p> * p.lu - the people of c.im are truly explorers. They discovered the PeerTube galaxy and were amazed by the technology there: hosting videos through the peer-to-peer protocol! They immediately established a colony in one of the worlds in the PeerTube galaxy.</p><p> * i.calckey.cloud - this is the primary world of the Calckey galaxy, and it is a world filled with clouds. Some think that it means its people are high, well, they are high, they live on (or in?) the clouds after all! However, its people are great calculators, I mean, at calculation. Did I not mention they can speak up to 3,000 characters?</p><p> * zotum.net - a “Wandering Earth” in the Hubzilla galaxy. This world is one of the oldest. Rumour has it that it used to be located in the Friendica galaxy. A wandering earth indeed!</p><p>Those are only a few of the worlds I have seen for myself. But, there is something far larger than this universe.</p><p>You see, my dear reader, the Friendica, Hubzilla, Streams, and <a href="https://c.im/tags/SocialHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SocialHome</span></a> galaxies developed technology to communicate with another universe. This universe is called <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheFederation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheFederation</span></a> and their communication technology, also based on dark matter, is called <a href="https://c.im/tags/diaspora" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>diaspora</span></a>.</p><p>That's not all. It was also discovered that there is another universe. The people in this universe calls it <a href="https://c.im/tags/Jabber" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Jabber</span></a> and their dark matter based communication technology is called <a href="https://c.im/tags/XMPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>XMPP</span></a>. The technology to commmunicate with them is still in experimental stages, only few worlds in the fediverse are brave enough to test this technology.</p><p>My tip, if you are a migrant, find any world and start there. Understand the basics of our universe. You can always move to a new world with your social connections, or start all over again, with a fresh identity if you like.</p><p>PS<br />There is this thing called <a href="https://c.im/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Twitter</span></a>, and most migrants are coming from there. It is probably a universe, though based on whispers, it is a <a href="https://c.im/tags/LostWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LostWorld</span></a> floating between universes, in total darkness. I even heard one migrant comment that that world is about to implode.</p><p>Note: If you are a citizen of the fediverse, please welcome and guide everyone in this <a href="https://c.im/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a>. They are looking for a new home, and our universe can be confusing for them. If whispers are to be believed, Twitter is but a single world, and ours is a universe.</p><p>End of journal entry #1105</p><p>---</p><p>^_^</p><p>(Edit: typos)</p>
