Intro
What is the Fediverse?
The Fediverse is a universe of federated servers. This covers social networks and sharing sites, hosted by several individuals or organizations, with the ability to all communicate together.
As opposed to centralized networks managed by large corporations, you can choose your server (or instance) and at the same time interact with all the others.
What are the benefits?
To start with, rather than a technical vision, this is more of a philosophy: you are no longer bound to an organization which wants you to stay captive and monetize your personal data, or even promote a political ideology or propagate hate speech.
We are volunteers motivated by ethics and values of freedom, tolerance and inclusiveness. And if you are not happy, you can always change instances!
GayFR services
I offer several services which you can discover through this portal: social networks and sharing sites. They have in common a focus on the gay French-speaking community, offering a platform to exchange in French language, and discuss, share ideas, topics of interest, experiences, pictures and videos, or even more if you wish, and to share our desires around the beauty of the male body, nudism and naturism, sex, BDSM activies, all in a positive and respectful manner.
Open to anyone sharing our values, this place aims to be friendly, inclusive, caring and sheltered, promoting common bodies of ordinary or mature men, far away from homophobia or any other form of discrimination: safe, body-positive, no body-shaming.
We are not a porn site! But we believe nudity and sex are natural pleasures, so there is room for male erotic contents.
Eco-friendly
According to the Green Web Foundation, our website uses hosting services compatible with environmental protection: green energy, to support the transition to a fossil-free internet, using electricity produced with limited greenhouse gas emissions.
Register!
If you find this appealing, you can register to one or several of the services presented in this portal, create an account and start interacting.
I am committed to offer you ethical, secure, quality and free services, with no exploitation whatsover of your personal data, and moderated content with a sense of freedom, with no censorship as soon as a spot of body is shown...
See you soon!

Social networks
You will find here the social networks to help you communicate your ideas, desires, thoughts, and anything you might want to share over time through text and media.
Mastodon
The most famous application: a microblogging site for short messages, with or without pictures, videos or audio, similar to the ex-Tw*tter (X), but ethical and protective of your personal data! No algorithm, no advertisement, you are not the product, and you can express yourself in a safe and caring place.
