The **fediverse** (“federated universe”) is the name for all websites that can communicate with each other over ActivityPub and the World Wide Web. That includes all Mastodon servers, but also other implementations:
* Pleroma, a modular microblogging engine,
* Pixelfed, federated image sharing platform, which lets you share and consume media posts,
* Misskey, which includes microblogging alongside a customizable dashboard,
* PeerTube, which lets you upload videos to channels,
* Plume, which lets you publish longer-form articles,
* and many more, including individual and personal websites!

### Free/libre software {#libre}
Unlike proprietary services, **anyone has the complete freedom to run, examine, inspect, copy, modify, distribute, and reuse the Mastodon source code, provided they guarantee the same freedoms for any derivative work.** Just like how users of Mastodon can choose their service provider, you as an individual are free to contribute features to Mastodon or publish a modified version of Mastodon that includes different features. These modified versions, also known as software forks, are required to also uphold the same freedoms as the original Mastodon project. For example, [glitch-soc](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/) is a software distribution that adds various experimental features. Many individual forks exist as well, perhaps themed slightly differently or including small modifications to the codebase. Because Mastodon is libre software that respects your freedom, personalizations like this are not only allowed but encouraged.
