Really nice talk by @evan about cooperative models for governance with a shout out to @ntnsndr for his excellent book “Governable Spaces” #FediDay

I get the impression that @_elena quite likes the #Fediverse? 🤩 #fediday

@dansup cool, is it federating?

@gamingonlinux we are working on it!

@annika @evan can’t forget which one if you’re on ALL OF THEM 🥸

Now that the @loops server code is available (great news!)... can I have my existing account on loops.video federated? 🙏

@evan too late, I went for a straightforward No...

@evan no, not exactly, and also, yes? 🙃

Oh, it's also #FediforumFriday which reminds me that folks should check out talks from #Fedicon a couple of weekends ago! and also, get tickets for the next #Fediforum coming up in October. https://fediforum.org/news/2025-08-06-fediforum-fall-announced/

Shout-out for @fedify as a great tool for developers in the #Fediverse 🫶🏻 from @dave #FrOSCon

@evan @dave talking about things like Fetch All Replies, Fediscovery, Quote Posts, and more! 🎉

@evan @dave IKR 🤯 I'll tell him he has to go... 😜

Bombshell news from @dave "The Fediverse is not perfect..." - but, now going into the ways we are working to make it better. Join in, and help! #FrOSCon

Listening to @Karlitschek talk about the critical value of federation at the heart of @nextcloud #FrOSCon - I may have more to add on this topic in my keynote tomorrow!

“Defrag please!” Great way to get folks to shuffle and fill the empty space at a tech conference 🤣 #FrOSCon

One year ago today, I wrote "Fediverse for Freedom", a blog post about why public institutions must own their own social identities and content online. It spawned another post, a talk at FOSDEM, and stickers! I'll be talking more about these topics at #FrOSCon on Sunday. #FediverseForFreedom

So I made a thing.

The vast majority of the time was spent in navigating guidelines around packaging and screenshots (and I probably still have bits of that wrong), and being less familiar with Codeberg than GH.

Fedinspect is expected to be more interesting for developers poking around at nodeinfo and federation and stuff, rather than generally. I learned a few fun fedi-related things while testing it anyway, though.

Happy Proxmox VE 9 release day to those who celebrate.

OK, @Techaltar gets extra internet points for including Mastodon post comments in his tech videos. Well played.

Remember when “social media” was “social networking”?

What changed? That second word: media. It’s all about capturing your attention and selling you stuff.

Humans are social and want to connect with one another. That’s what makes the #fediverse special to me - authentic connection. We haven’t forgotten the social part.
