I appreciate Brussels demonstrating affinity with creatures similar to the Mastodon. 👏🏻

For another #FediforumFriday I want to give a shout-out to a nice tool for creating threads on Mastodon - Splinter https://splinter.hastily.cc/

I used this yesterday for the first time, to post a series of updates about the videos from PublicSpaces last week. Useful stuff, and added to my list of power tools.

The latest #ForABetterWeb podcast episode is another excellent listen. Very impressed with Andy Yen of Proton. Great job @brucelawson 👏🏻 https://vivaldi.com/blog/10-andy-yen-proton-for-a-better-web/

Excited to hear @mariafarrell speak about Rewilding the Internet / Rewild and Resist! #PubConf2025

For those that heard @cubicgarden at #Fediforum last week, a good #FediforumFriday read is the new social internet report from @BBCRD https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-06-social-media-change-issues-problems-report/

Good morning #PubConf2025

@tchambers like Postmarks? Albeit we need to find a new home for it than Glitch.

If you saw my Rebel Alliance / #FediverseForFreedom sticker in @_elena fabulous Future is Federated video, you can grab some here https://fediverseforfreedom.org

@elena and for those wondering about the cool stickers, take a look at https://fediverseforfreedom.org

@FinchHaven @jerome @individual8 @MastodonEngineering any software that implemented the specification could post a quoted post - I believe some folks on aus.social have seen some https://aus.social/@shlee/114623318766146812

@FinchHaven @jerome @individual8 @MastodonEngineering we worked hard and put the specification through the Fediverse Enhancement Proposals process -we hope that people use the feature! Carousel slides are the way pinned posts will show up in user profiles on the web in 4.4.x

@individual8 @MastodonEngineering these features are indeed available to users on mastodon.social - we are releasing this for more instances to test out.

I probably should have posted more about how great #Fediforum is / has been today. Been a bit busy learning from awesome people.

@reiver @j12t @evan that explanation is also my head canon, but I defer to Evan and his co-editors!

@uira hi! This sounds pretty cool, send an email (hello at joinmastodon dot org) and I will take a look 👀

Really enjoyed the discussion about Microsoft, Edge, antitrust, Apple, the web etc in the latest episode of For A Better Web #podcast with @brucelawson https://vivaldi.com/blog/9-gene-burrus-for-a-better-web/

I am honoured to be part of a broad group of folks helping to keep @fediforum - and the #Fediverse as a whole - move forward. Looking forward to our next event, and to learning what people are building together!

Just shared my experience at Flipboard's Fediverse House at SXSW in Austin. I was honoured to join @miaq panel discussing community building on the open social web. Check out the video of our discussion. #fediverse
