A New Digital Town Square

Empowering Australian Democracy through the Fediverse

What is the Fediverse?

The Fediverse is a global network of independent social media servers that talk to each other. Unlike traditional platforms owned by single corporations, the Fediverse is decentralized. It allows users on different servers (like Mastodon, Pleroma, or Lemmy) to follow and interact with each other seamlessly, ensuring no single entity controls the conversation.

Why Australian Politicians Should Join

In an era of algorithmic bias and foreign-owned platforms, Australian representatives need a space that prioritizes authentic communication with their constituents. By joining au.politicians.social, federal politicians can engage in a verified, professional environment free from the "engagement-at-all-costs" algorithms of Big Tech.

Coming Soon: We are expanding to include dedicated state-based servers to ensure local representatives have a tailored space for state and territory issues.
