 ====== Decentralised social media for Glasgow ======
+I run public servers for Glasgow for some of the decentralised projects I find interesting.  Most of them use the [[ActivityPub]] protocol.
   * [[https://glasgow.social]] - Mastodon, a Twitter-like platform for microblogging
   * [[https://lemmy.glasgow.social]] - Lemmy, a Reddit-like platform of forums (subreddits/subcommunities)
   * [[https://matrix.glasgow.social]] - Matrix, an IRC (Instant messenger) like platform for chat rooms etc (similar to Discord)
-  * [[https://pixelfed.glasgow.social]] - Pixelfed, an Instagram-like platform for photo sharing
+I've experimented with PixelFed and PeerTube, but decided not to devote the resources to running them publicaly.
 I also run a [[https://wiki.glasgow.social|Wiki]] for Glasgow.  While it isn't decentralised, all the data is available as both a [[https://wiki.glasgow.social/download|download]] and a [[Gemini]] site: [[gemini://wiki.glasgow.social]]
+===== Why decentralise? =====
