Working on something cool, to be shown off at the next FediForum.

Actually, before that. But we'll discuss it at #FediForum.

And not just cool, but useful for the community! We hope :-)

Tim Bray (@timbray) is coming to the Growing the Open Social Web un-workshop March 2 and says:

My position paper will be based on this blog piece: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/11/03/Time-to-Migrate

The 1st FediForum un-workshop is a month from today! Are you registered yet?

In this un-workshop, we'll try to figure out together what the best strategies and tactics are to grow the Open Social Web, based on short position statements that people submit when registering.

https://fediforum.org/2026-03-growing-open-social-web/

On March 2, we are going to try something different. Something in addition to the regular twice/year FediForum un-conference (so don't worry).

We will run an un-**workshop**, on a topic that many in the community have told us is very pressing for them:

How do we grow the Open Social Web?

When Elon bought Twitter now over three years ago, and every time X has been rocked by scandal since, many people expected a big exodus to decentralized social media platforms based on open protocols.

Michael and Saskia from Newsmast explain how building focused social applications for particular communities and use cases can meet the moment of the global information emergency many are all facing.

Fediverse platforms don't have to be monolithic.

Here's @benjaminbellamy showing off the new plugin architecture for Castopod in a #FediForum demo.

Social media does not have to be on a public town square, or manipulate you.

Here's @jesseplusplus's demo at #FediForum showing off Frequency Social, a federated, privacy-first social networking app.

It's a wrap for FediForum Day 2, and the entire October 2025 FediForum. We had a blast, and attendees have told us the same.

Next: meet in-person in South Tyrol in Northern Italy in about a month at sfscon.it.

Is #FediForum only for geeks?

Not at all! Users have come. Moderators. Artists. Public policy people. Media people. Creators. And many more, because the Open Social Web matters to all of them, and to all of us, around the world.

So join us online in just a bit! https://fediforum.org

Looking through #FediForum registrations. We don't require attendees to tell us where on the planet they are, but they can tell us their time zone.

This time, I see everything between eastern Europe and the American west coast, plus New Zealand and Korea, where it will be in the middle of the night

FediForum starts in 48 hours!

Join us and many of the people who move the Open Social Web and the Fediverse forward for two days of discussions, teaching and learning, software demos, a keynote, and making friends with like-minded people in an unconference format , online!

Threadiverse improvements.

Join us! https://fediforum.org

Matthias Pfefferle (@pfefferle) is coming to https://fediforum.org and asks:

What are the next steps for bringing long-form content into the fediverse? How do blogs differ from other platforms, and what needs to be done to ensure they become first-class citizens in the fediverse?

Evan Prodromou (@evan) is coming to FediForum and wants to discuss:

Where is the activitypub api going?

Let's talk about innovation on the client! Join us, October 7 and 8, online. Registration is open! https://fediforum.org

It's been pointed out that the FediForum front page isn't super clear that the next FediForum is online.

Yes, it is! You can join us from anywhere between central Europe to the American west coast during reasonably hours, and from the rest of the time zones from less reasonable hours, but online!
