Organizers Log:
I just talked to someone at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026.
He is a friend-of-a-friend.
We talked about what we would need for FediCon, in terms of a location, etc.
He needs to ask around (internally at SFU).
Hopefully, can get more details this or next week.

I have been looking for a new location for FediCon 2026.
The location we used for FediCon 2025 is very nice — but also very expensive. (I paid for it out of my own pocket.)
I am trying to find a new location that is either less expensive or, if possible, free.
I'd like to try to keep the ticket prices low. And, one of the biggest things that goes into the ticket price is the cost of the location

Mr @deadsuperhero happened to have a birthday during #FediCon
So you know what @reiver and others organized?
A birthday cake, to celebrate one of the most influential fedizens of all time ❤️
FediCon was so iconic
@dansup@mastodon.social
FediCon was such a blast, met so many cool people.
Can you recognize any?
Looking forward to the next one 😁

This is an intriguing panel discussion from FediCon, published on the @decentered podcast;
https://wedistribute.org/podcast/s2e4-we-distribute-live/
Some very challenging comments made, including "open source is dead". I just wish the host had asked the guests to explain exactly what they meant by comments like that, before moving along to the next topic.

I wonder if @atomicpoet remembers me asking him to help QA my new Loops project during #FediCon.
The Android app is almost ready, and I saw he is helping organize a Fediverse Video Co-op, it's a match made in heaven.
Timing is everything, hope he considers Loops 🤞

This #FediCon talk from @benpate is probably my favorite out of the bunch. They’re all really good, but so many of his points hit home for how I feel about the #Fediverse and what we could do together.

FediUrbanism: Digital Third Spaces for Community (re)Connection (FediCon 2025)
by Johanna Botari @johannab
@benpate@mastodon.social
I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.
It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.
I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:
https://spectra.video/w/eod3ybLu7sHzAEMihej8km
It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.

@dansup @jesseplusplus @julian I'd bee interested to see any follow up videos from #FediCon. would they likely be uploaded to peer tube or you tube or both ? . Where ever I would watch them
@dansup@mastodon.social
I had such a blast at #FediCon chatting with other developers like @jesseplusplus and @julian
I wonder if they would be down to have a video chat to finish discussing these topics, and maybe we could turn this into a recurring event and invite other devs.
I'm hopeful, let's do it ✨

@quillmatiq@mastodon.social · Reply to william.maggos's post
@wjmaggos I have to ask - is building something drastically different in parallel while still making compatibility easy a bad thing?
At #Fedicon, ActivityPub and ATProto folks were discussing pros and cons of both solutions and exploring how the other could fill those gaps in tangible ways. We're sharing ideas, improving each other's solutions, and doing them in *very* different ways while still being interoperable.
This kind of competition is good for innovation.

If you have a chance, all the #Fedicon 2025 sessions so far are worth a watch. But if you're strapped for time, here are the two (so far) I found most interesting.
These aren't app demos! Rather they are discussions about bringing the concept of decentralized systems and owning your data to the masses.
@cyberlyra discusses this in relation to the project Tech Reclaimers, an outreach program @TheBulletin

Truth is, I hadn’t planned to. But after getting dogpiled for daring to talk to @jaz at #Fedicon, I realized just how badly the Fediverse needs real trust and safety. So instead of spending money on video games, I’m putting it toward #IFTAS.
Why? Because IFTAS helps server admins quietly block the worst of the worst—harassment, racism, CSAM. The kind of toxic rot most people never see because someone else is doing the hard work in the background.
Glad to support that. And I’ll likely do it again.

So on the way back from #FediCon we stopped in Jasper because I told my partner I wanted to take some pics.
I asked him to face the mountains, and then got on one knee, and when he turned around I said:
"This journey together has meant a lot, and I want to spend the rest of my life together with you, on it. Babe, will you marry me"
He said yes! ❤️
I haven't seen him so happy in a while, and he hinted at this before, but I wanted to propose somewhere special
And I did

Also just reviewed @cyberlyra 's talk from #fedicon #fedicon2025 last week - I highly recommend this one. It's not a product or demo talk or a how-to, it's a great WHY to on the topic of getting ourselves un-captured from corporate technopolies. August is #chuckZuck month, for those trying to exit the Meta properties.
Give it a listen.

Honestly blown away by @reiver funding #FediCon out of pocket, even covering expensive recording of the event for everyone.
Some may overlook that he spent more than most fediverse servers do yearly.
He prioritized accessibility, pricing tickets at $15 or free (when they should have been $100+ to cover costs).
So grateful for leaders like him and @evan that provide so much for our fediverse ecosystem.

After I hid the cake, I sat at one of the tables that were reserved for us at the restaurant.
I sat across the table from @dansup
Except I didn't recognize that it @dansup 🙂
The thing is — @dansup was wearing a hat. And, I'm used to his classic Fediverse photos without a hat. (With the window's peak hair style.)
I eventually realized it was @dansup 🙂

I arrived late at the (pre-FediCon) dinner because I went and picked-up a cake for @deadsuperhero surprise birthday party.
(FediCon was happening in my old neighborhood — I used to live 2 blocks away from Robson Square. I knew where to get a cake from.)
Luckily, @deadsuperhero hadn't arrived yet, and was later than I was (so he didn't see the cake, and the surprise wasn't spoiled).

The public start of FediCon 2025 was on Friday August 1st. But, some of us got together the day before — on Thursday July 31st.
It was @evan 's idea — to have a speaker's dinner the night before.
That night also ended up being a surprise birthday party for @deadsuperhero 🙂 (It was his birthday anniversary.)

Oh no.
My #fedicon hair was even fluffier than I feared. 🤣 💇♀️
Ah, the Pacific North Wet, right? No more oceanside city visits without a lot more hair ties or a hat.
Of course, the SWO summer heat + smoke right now are making it downright crispy now that I'm home, that's not awesome either.

He has been dealing with adding caption text. As well as, creating the poster "thumbnail" images.
Which helps a lot.

@quillmatiq@mastodon.social
At #Fedicon last weekend, I had the opportunity to present my thoughts on the open social web, what we're building at @anewsocial, and what it's taught us about how to build for people, not platforms.
Our aim is The Last Network Effect, and the path to that is building bridges, not walls.

Still so energized by #Fedicon last weekend. What an absolute blast to hang with so many people who want the open social web to thrive, and have so many great ideas on how to make it happen!
Also got to meet a whole bunch of folks I've been working and interacting with online for a long time - turns out, they're as amazing in-person as they are online 🫶🏼
A huuuuuuge shout-out to @reiver for making it all happen, and I'm so excited about the next one!

Honestly blown away by @reiver funding #FediCon out of pocket, even covering expensive recording of the event for everyone.
Some may overlook that he spent more than most fediverse servers do yearly.
He prioritized accessibility, pricing tickets at $15 or free (when they should have been $100+ to cover costs).
So grateful for leaders like him and @evan that provide so much for our fediverse ecosystem.
❤️
@dansup@mastodon.social
I do kinda regret not putting more effort into my #FediCon keynote.
After watching @evan keynote on the first day, I left the conference right after to go back to my hotel and spent 6 hours improving my keynote, and it still wasn't long enough lol
I was so nervous that I didn't even make jokes or engage the crowd, and I will work on that for my next talk.
I loved @julian and @benpate talks because they knocked it out of the park with their humor and talking points.
I'll do better next time 😅

Thanks to @mapache , FediCon has badges.
During (and a week or so before) FediCon I got extremely swamped with FediCon work that had to get done before the day of the conference — so, I haven't had a chance to reward people with badges, yet.

I was happy to get some time to hack on a new project at the #Fedicon #Minihackathon today. I built a #Jekyll plugin to output ActivityPub information (Webfinger, actor, inbox, outbox, all the objects and activities). It should generate a legit #ActivityPoll actor, which other people can follow remotely.

After @atomicpoet did his panel at FediCon — multiple people told me that @atomicpoet needs his own podcast, because of how funny he was 🙂
I agree.
But, AllYourBases (i.e., the name @atomicpoet 's panel) was a (short-lived) video podcast (with me) that we posted on the Fediverse.
I have been trying to get @atomicpoet to revive the AllYourBases podcast.
(Maybe me posting this will encourage that to happen 🙂)

I was talking the A/V tech person who recorded FediCon.
He told me he would run all the videos he recorded of FediCon through Handbrake, to reduce their size, before giving them to me.
I.e., Handbrake the open-source video transcoding tool.
Which I thought was interesting. That (at least one instance of) open-souce software is part of his A/V tool-set.
@johannab@cosocial.ca
Every speaker at #Fedicon was great and I left with my brain fizzing. @boris ’ romp through the many innovations happening via ATproto was, for me, the most technically dense with new info. Not being a developer, I grasp high-level concepts around protocols, but I’m not someone who can read up on a new one and just absorb these things. There’s a rare sweet spot of reaching enough info density without knocking me over into info overload. This hit it.

It’s great to meet at a #FediCon—not necessarily my FediCon—because it’s a reminder that the connections you make here on the Fediverse are real.
Seeing people face-to-face is proof that pluralism can work—and it can even be civil.
Did I disagree with people? Absolutely. Sometimes vehemently. But that friction can lead to better understanding. Sometimes even great ideas.
And most of all, it’s a reminder that we’re all humans—not NPCs—and that’s reason enough to be kind.

"Is the future of the open social web one dominant protocol or bridges and duct tape?" @atomicpoet at #Fedicon
The future of the open social web is people connecting with people no matter what technology they happen to choose. And if bridges and duct tape is what's necessary, then we'll continue building bridges, because it's connections and community over everything.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
NodeBB’s embrace of #ActivityPub has given it the capability for members on individual message boards to subscribe to sections of other forums. Architecturally, forum sections work very similarly to how Lemmy communities do.

@PhoenixSerenity @chris A lot of Fediverse event organisers are first-timers, as was the case with #Fedicon. That's not an excuse, but maybe an explanation for why there wasn't a policy.
I think it would be a good idea for us to put together a list of good practices for Fediverse events to be diverse and participative: emphasizing speaker diversity, having a code of conduct, encouraging masks, having childcare available. I'm going to check with event organisers to see what the best place is.

So I really enjoyed #fedicon. I am an outsider to the Fediverse’s development, but it has some truly inspiring people and amazing developers.
Some observations.
Many speakers would say things like “I think the Fediverse should have a billion people on it” or “We’ve gone as far as we can with developers’ spare time; we need real sources of funding” and then wait, bracing for outraged screams from the audience. That never came.
That tells me what fediverse development online spaces are like.

All things, applications, libraries, protocols, breathe through time: they alternately explore, expand, complexify, and then mature and simplify. This will be true of the open social web.
If you are exploring the space, be free to use duct tape, and definitely bridge.

Getting my last gulps of sea air before headed home.
Feeling a renewed energy after #FediCon and excited to bring some new ideas to #mstdnca.
I’m glad I’ve been taking time on the State of the Instance because I have so much more to add after this weekend.
Posting later this week.
Also, I bought fedican.ca. More coming about that too.

"Is the future of the open social web one dominant protocol or bridges and duct tape?" @atomicpoet at #Fedicon
All things, applications, libraries, protocols, breathe through time: they alternately explore, expand, complexify, and then mature and simplify. This will be true of the open social web.
If you are exploring the space, be free to use duct tape, and definitely bridge.

Hi @julian
I know you're very busy sitting on panels at #Fedicon and talking about how to make the fediverse better. Great.
Unfortunately you are still running a scraper that is feeding search engines.
You've been posting from the con (tip: we use alt text on pictures here on the fediverse), so I know you're online.
You're following me, so you'll have seen my question. @Gargron has spoken to you too I believe.
A day later, no acknowledgement or apology or fix or promise of a fix. Why?
@jesseplusplus@mastodon.social
@plinubius@chaos.social
@evan #Fedicon question or/and idea: As, for my understanding, ActivityPub always refers to the author of an activity, couldn't it inhibit some sort of value stream information as well? Some 20 years ago, I had the idea that any sort of content contribution could be associated with a token to relate micro payments to it. Sharing a post could be seen as appreciation. This appreciation could be associated with a value transfer scheme, optionally connected to e.g. wallets/gratifications 1/x

From what I’ve seen of #FediCon (which, believe it or not, is a convention for the FEDIVERSE), there seems to be a whole lot of “check out this non-Fediverse thing that is in fact built on Bluesky” and “here are some problems with the Fediverse that no one actually faces, how do we fix them, let’s make it centralized” and not much actual talk about ongoing Fedi projects.

In the grand scheme of things, the Fediverse is still very, very small. We’re at the early peak of the “Innovators” section of the Technology Adoption Life Cycle.
Threads and Bluesky absolutely crush us in terms of user numbers, and they themselves are only tiny slices compared to even bigger platforms.

There’s two general ways of trying to get all the replies in a conversation tree: crawling up and down the reply tree, and Conversational Contexts. The first is pretty good, the second is a more comprehensive approach where the metadata of the conversation accounts for responses. You can use both together.

Google+ had a number of issues, but for the most part, it didn’t have a killer feature. A 1:1 feature recreation of another service is not itself a compelling thing to get users to switch.

In the grand scheme of things, the Fediverse is still very, very small. We’re at the early peak of the “Innovators” section of the Technology Adoption Life Cycle.
Threads and Bluesky absolutely crush us in terms of user numbers, and they themselves are only tiny slices compared to even bigger platforms.

Quite envious of everyone at #fedicon this weekend. Reading peoples' posts and watching from afar. I'm so glad these conversations are happening.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
There’s two general ways of trying to get all the replies in a conversation tree: crawling up and down the reply tree, and Conversational Contexts. The first is pretty good, the second is a more comprehensive approach where the metadata of the conversation accounts for responses. You can use both together.

Finished with my talk at #FediCon, which put "conveying non-manipulated truth" at the center of the narrative for the open social web, and that overlords don't do that, I sink into a seat in the audience and I see this headline.
"Trump fires a senior official over jobs numbers" "Trump has fired ... the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused, without evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”"
Point made.

Yeah, this was always the rub, wasn’t it? It’s a very nerdy concept, built for and used by nerds, so of course the technical aspects appeal to people who know how to build this stuff. Making it usable and appealing for everyone is an entirely different paradigm of thought.

You can build a follow graph on #ATProtcol that is independent from #Bluesky. Which is useful for building non-microblog apps.
@quillmatiq@mastodon.social
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org
It’s interesting—I primarily use the #Fediverse for blogging, not microblogging.
People used to complain about that. But after two years, I haven’t received a single complaint. Which means people have got used to the notion that #ActivityPub does not need to be Twitter-like.

When listening to @j12t at #FediCon talking about universal identities, I kept thinking about #OpenID and how it tapped into the broad internet, and virtually disappeared in a few years.
Instead, we have all those “log in with {an overlord}” buttons, obviously pushed by the wealthy and powerful tech companies.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Chris Alemany is talking about his story of starting SocialBC, a Mastodon instance that serves the British Columbia area.
I think taking a hyper-local approach is incredibly novel, and being able to serve a regional area is a cool approach to building communities on the network.

Another great talk from my friend @chris on his journey in setting up https://socialbc.ca/explore. In this slide he asks the very valid question of: Are we in a Kubrick movie? #FediCon
@dansup@mastodon.social
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
From the perspective of advocacy, I think we really need to take the experiences of SocialBC and other initiatives, and develop a comprehensive playbook on what things were tried, and how these efforts got a foothold in their local communities. Even though SocialBC is small, it’s a compelling case study.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
I love the idea of local governments having Fedi accounts. It sounds silly, but the idea of a bunch of local departments being able to get their messages out can actually be really useful. Think about how many municipal accounts post updates on Twitter to keep people informed about local events or developments.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
For advocacy, connecting to current events can be a great way to gain traction and get your message out there. Given the nature of closed social networks and the billionaires in control of them, this can really resonate with people.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
SocialBC has done some really interesting advocacy work. They connected with CBC Radio, did an interview, and that was a legitimate avenue for people to sign up.
100+ users, about half are active, but the community is stable and growing. Outreach is a big focus for them.

My quest at #fedicon2025 is to find #Fediverse services and handles with non-Latin characters. Can you link me to examples?
I hear there are many #Japan ese people active in Fediverse, but all the examples I see have only Latin script. #Unicode #Fedicon #Mastodon #UniversalAcceptance

When listening to @j12t at #FediCon talking about universal identities, I kept thinking about #OpenID and how it tapped into the broad internet, and virtually disappeared in a few years.
Instead, we have all those “log in with {an overlord}” buttons, obviously pushed by the wealthy and powerful tech companies.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Universal user-controlled identity is something I would love to see for the #Fediverse. I have several dozen accounts accumulated over the years, I just want them all to be aligned to one account!
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
What kind of organizations would align well to the Social Web? News, Science, Education, Democratic Governments.
We’re seeing seeds being planted for all of these things, but these benefit the network as well as befitting from it. Being able to openly distribute truth, knowledge, and information are crucial in an era where big platforms can alter the narrative and suppress knowledge for political gain.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Rather than trying to recreate the entire proprietary, siloed Web with open source analogues, what if we supported an open technical stack across the Web that just made it easier to work together and gave users choice?
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Johannes makes a really interesting point about how we use custom integrations between Slack and GitHub to notify us of things happening.
What if we could do this, but with ActivityPub, and funnel this data into something that tells us specifically about the things we care about? Or, what if we could keep track of all of our e-commerce purchases in one dashboard?
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
There’s the technical side: flow of structured data between websites, a plug-and-play open standard, being able to follow and interact with a distinct identity.
There’s a really compelling story here where users could potentially just have one account to do everything, and control over the interactions and data from different parts of the Web.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
The Web itself is not exclusively social media. There’s search, videos, document hubs, e-commerce, creative spaces, and more.
This becomes a question of “What can the Social Web offer them?”

A good parallel between the Social Web and siloed networks: America Online and the Open Web. Breaking out of AOL’s model led to a global network that didn’t solely benefit one company as the gatekeeper.

Really, the biggest hurdles to getting people onto the network involve friction. Discovery, ability to connect, and being able to participate in communities that are relevant are huge factors in why people stay or leave.
Although, UX and social dynamics are also huge factors.

If we get everyone in a combined ecosystem where everyone can move around from one place to another with minimal friction, people would hesitate to ever go back to closed system.

WAFRN is so freaking awesome. Hilarious community, amazing platform, and it natively speaks both ActivityPub and ATproto.
Going to be writing about it soon.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Enabling users to choose platforms based on things they care about should be the ultimate goal of what we’re building as a network.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
BridgyFed is a hybrid stack that is both an ActivityPub instance and an ATproto PDS. All of the bridging is done purely at the protocol level. No secret sauce.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Bounce is super, super cool, and could potentially power an entire layer for migrating across different open networks, while retaining most of your social graph. Launching in beta this month!

Joining the Social Web is still ridiculously hard for non-technical people who have never touched it before. There’s a lot of factors, but one of the major headaches is trying to account for different open networks and platforms that don’t really talk to each other.
@boris@cosocial.ca · Reply to Boris Mann's post
The reveal from @j12t on how to compete is “What if we turned the entire Web social?” - there are enough “not a social media network” apps that could be recruited to adopt open protocols.
Also “think beyond the social media box” in thinking about solutions and apps and building blocks like accounts and data flows.

@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
“Live Data Portability Is The Engine of User Choice”
Conceptually, I agree with this, but we’ve historically done a really bad job of supporting this. It needs to be baked in to the protocol with clear language and documentation.

Severe FOMO of #Fedicon 2025

They don’t really belong here, at least not at a foundational / protocol level.
@michael@newsmast.social
@dansup@mastodon.social
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
“What’s the worst possible outcome for the #Fediverse in 2030?”
There’s a lot of bad potential outcomes, some more horrific than others, but I think the worst one involves the network no longer serving its original purpose, becoming utterly rudderless, and regressing into a conduit for hate, harassment, spam, and illegal content.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Groups are really important, and should be a fixture of most Fediverse platforms. This is one aspect where I think leaning into microblogging may have really hurt us in the long term. Mastodon still doesn’t support federated groups, even though many other platforms do.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
“Developers Are A Lot Easier to Convince Than Users”
Yeah, this was always the rub, wasn’t it? It’s a very nerdy concept, built for and used by nerds, so of course the technical aspects appeal to people who know how to build this stuff. Making it usable and appealing for everyone is an entirely different paradigm of thought.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
FediDB currently tracks about 76 unique platforms within the #Fediverse, but there are lots of other projects in various stages of development that aren’t necessarily accounted for. #FediCon
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
“There are a number of platforms that provide their own APIs… that’s okay…but the ActivityPub protocol provides its own client API for applications. It’s underutilized within the Fediverse today, but I still think it’s really crucial.”

@evan now pointing to the evolutionary step from beautifully messy GeoCities to the structured and social-structured layers of blogs, technically RSS.
Later on: popularization of the Internet, new business models, and subsequently what Evan calls "the great social network crunch". He recommends checking Wikipedia's list of former social network services.
(Reminds me of @hauschke and @edlef frequently mentioning Friendster, which was just a few years ahead of its time...)

From the perspective of advocacy, I think we really need to take the experiences of SocialBC and other initiatives, and develop a comprehensive playbook on what things were tried, and how these efforts got a foothold in their local communities. Even though SocialBC is small, it’s a compelling case study.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
I love the idea of local governments having Fedi accounts. It sounds silly, but the idea of a bunch of local departments being able to get their messages out can actually be really useful. Think about how many municipal accounts post updates on Twitter to keep people informed about local events or developments.

For advocacy, connecting to current events can be a great way to gain traction and get your message out there. Given the nature of closed social networks and the billionaires in control of them, this can really resonate with people.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
SocialBC has done some really interesting advocacy work. They connected with CBC Radio, did an interview, and that was a legitimate avenue for people to sign up.
100+ users, about half are active, but the community is stable and growing. Outreach is a big focus for them.

Finished with my talk at #FediCon, which put "conveying non-manipulated truth" at the center of the narrative for the open social web, and that overlords don't do that, I sink into a seat in the audience and I see this headline.
"Trump fires a senior official over jobs numbers" "Trump has fired ... the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused, without evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”"

Universal user-controlled identity is something I would love to see for the #Fediverse. I have several dozen accounts accumulated over the years, I just want them all to be aligned to one account!
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
What kind of organizations would align well to the Social Web? News, Science, Education, Democratic Governments.
We’re seeing seeds being planted for all of these things, but these benefit the network as well as befitting from it. Being able to openly distribute truth, knowledge, and information are crucial in an era where big platforms can alter the narrative and suppress knowledge for political gain.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Rather than trying to recreate the entire proprietary, siloed Web with open source analogues, what if we supported an open technical stack across the Web that just made it easier to work together and gave users choice?
@boris@cosocial.ca · Reply to Boris Mann's post
The reveal from @j12t on how to compete is “What if we turned the entire Web social?” - there are enough “not a social media network” apps that could be recruited to adopt open protocols.
Also “think beyond the social media box” in thinking about solutions and apps and building blocks like accounts and data flows.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Johannes makes a really interesting point about how we use custom integrations between Slack and GitHub to notify us of things happening.
What if we could do this, but with ActivityPub, and funnel this data into something that tells us specifically about the things we care about? Or, what if we could keep track of all of our e-commerce purchases in one dashboard?

There’s the technical side: flow of structured data between websites, a plug-and-play open standard, being able to follow and interact with a distinct identity.
There’s a really compelling story here where users could potentially just have one account to do everything, and control over the interactions and data from different parts of the Web.

The Web itself is not exclusively social media. There’s search, videos, document hubs, e-commerce, creative spaces, and more.
This becomes a question of “What can the Social Web offer them?”

@jaz@toot.wales
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
An interesting way of thinking about things: the #Fediverse itself is a distinct concept that’s somewhat sequestered off from the rest of the Web. The Social Web concept builds on the Fediverse, and proposes bringing social capabilities and communication to the Web as we know it today.
@quillmatiq@mastodon.social
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
A good parallel between the Social Web and siloed networks: America Online and the Open Web. Breaking out of AOL’s model led to a global network that didn’t solely benefit one company as the gatekeeper.

“What’s the worst possible outcome for the #Fediverse in 2030?”
There’s a lot of bad potential outcomes, some more horrific than others, but I think the worst one involves the network no longer serving its original purpose, becoming utterly rudderless, and regressing into a conduit for hate, harassment, spam, and illegal content.
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org
Groups are really important, and should be a fixture of most Fediverse platforms. This is one aspect where I think leaning into microblogging may have really hurt us in the long term. Mastodon still doesn’t support federated groups, even though many other platforms do.

“Live Data Portability Is The Engine of User Choice”
Conceptually, I agree with this, but we’ve historically done a really bad job of supporting this. It needs to be baked in to the protocol with clear language and documentation.

“Developers Are A Lot Easier to Convince Than Users”
Yeah, this was always the rub, wasn’t it? It’s a very nerdy concept, built for and used by nerds, so of course the technical aspects appeal to people who know how to build this stuff. Making it usable and appealing for everyone is an entirely different paradigm of thought.

Later on: popularization of the Internet, new business models, and subsequently what Evan calls "the great social network crunch". He recommends checking Wikipedia's list of former social network services.
(Reminds me of @hauschke and @edlef frequently mentioning Friendster, which was just a few years ahead of its time...)

I have tried to respond to some of them. But, I likely I won't get to all of them.
I am dealing with a number of different FediCon organizing tasks that need to get done before tomorrow.

So apparently there's this big #FediCon coming up tomorrow & on weekend in #VancouverBC. I was thinking about attending for a few hours as 2 of the nonprofits not on Mastodon yet were willing to pay for me to go. Unfortunately - the organizers seem to be very #ableist.
I sent a direct question about their #CovidSafety protocols because their event site info had ZERO info for concerned people who don't want to catch covid at any forum/convention. No answer at all. This lack of providing public information on #Covid & how they plan to mitigate, lack of answers on my direct public safety question -> top shelf #ableism.
This event isn't #inclusive.

Go spend time on Robson Street.

(BTW, the location of FediCon is on Robson Street.)
There are a lot of shops, coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and other places on Robson.
It is a nice place to hang-out on.

So exited for #fedicon in Vancouver!

It will be recorded. So, you will be able to watch the sessions once the video gets uploaded (to a PeerTube instance).
But, part of the benefit of a conference is — all the ad hoc, unplanned conversations. Which would be impractical to record.
I hope others post about the conference while they are there, and use the #FediCon and #FediCon2025 hash-tags (so others can find their posts).

Really excited to attend #FediCon in Vancouver this weekend! Who all will be there? Would love to meet up and chat in person!

There are so many messages and things I have been dealing with for FediCon that —
I am worried that I missed someone message, or forgot to reply to someone, or forgot to invite someone, etc.
Hopefully I didn't.
But, if I did that to anyone, it wasn't intentional.
(And if I did that to you and you are reading this, please message me and let me know what I missed.)

Done with the slides for my talk "From Millions to Billions -- a plausible narrative for growing the Open Social Web", to be (first?) given at #FediCon this Friday in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I expect this to be permanent work in progress, as this community / network / market / whatever it all is evolves, and I'm sure that some people will tell me it is not plausible or could be more plausible. Which would be the best outcome ... I love learning from my "audience" because it gets better that way.

Some of the meetups I organized would fill the room of a 250 people capacity. I think organizing a conference is similar to that type of meetup.
But there are differences — perhaps the main differences being №1 there are multiple speakers rather than just one, and №2 people are coming from different parts of the world.

Organizing a conference isn't exactly the same as organizing a meetup, but there are A LOT of similarities.

I decided I wanted organize FediCon earlier this year — either in January or February. Around the time of FOSDEM.
There were a bunch of Social Web / Fediverse people at FOSDEM. It was a great conference. I wanted something like that to exist back home (in Canada / North America), too.

@cyberlyra is there a #Fedicon in #Europe? This would be one of those times when the topic and people warrant a flight (haven't flown since 2018) but I'm all booked up. Will follow the hashtag, though!

When Drake (my doggo) passed away in Feb, our friends hosted a party
They gave us a framed pic of him, and pointed to their karaoke, and said I should sing a song for him
I did
2 weeks later I bought a karaoke machine
We hosted a few parties since then, and everyone says they don't want to sing, then they suddenly won't get off the mic 🤣
"Just one more song"
The best part? Guess who blew everyone away singing Queen, U2 and KoL
Without looking at the lyrics?
I'm bringing it to #fediCon 😎

When Drake (my doggo) passed away in Feb, our friends hosted a party
They gave us a framed pic of him, and pointed to their karaoke, and said I should sing a song for him
I did
2 weeks later I bought a karaoke machine
We hosted a few parties since then, and everyone says they don't want to sing, then they suddenly won't get off the mic 🤣
"Just one more song"
The best part? Guess who blew everyone away singing Queen, U2 and KoL
Without looking at the lyrics?
I'm bringing it to #fediCon 😎
@dansup@mastodon.social
Ordered more stickers that I'll be giving out at https://fedicon.ca 😎

face to face is best because of learning and networking benefits like:
+ enhanced communication
+ making deeper connections
+ personalized interaction
Let's all join @reiver at #FediCon for this dynamic event towards knowledge transfer and making the #SocialWeb a great place for new audiences like #YoungAdults to escape #algorithmic drama (I posted a 5 part update on this pinned on my profile if you're interested in reading my solutions on bringing the next gen into Fedi)

Vancouver tends to be beautiful in August! And, Vancouver's summer's tend to be mild. So, a fantastic place to visit during that time of the year 🙂

FediCon is a new fediverse conference - but in-person! I attended Flipboard's in person event at SXSW this year and it was nice to meet some fedi friends and meet some new ones in real life. Happy to see more in-person events popping up!

Seriously everyone, I can't express the love I feel in this world. I never knew #family could be so amazing.
To have a community like this. I'm speechless.
Thank you all so much. I'm going to take so much love back to the universe with me when I go.

I assume they will either want me to put down a deposit, or want me to pay the full amount.

I have some potential dates for this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon).
I have been talking to one location about renting a room from them (for the conference). I asked them for 2 consecutive days we could rent a particular room.
This (in the attached screenshot) is what they said.
Given this, I am still leaning towards doing the conference in the month of August.
Maybe on a Friday and a Saturday.

But, I now have a ballpark for how much the room rental is approximately going to cost.
So, including taxes, and keeping in mind this is for 2 days and not 1 day (so we have to double it), it is probably going to cost about:
$4,500
... to rent the room for 2 days.

So —
№1: I could change the day(s) of the week I am trying to make the conference happen.
№2: I could try a different room / location for all or one of the days.
№3: I could try a different month of the year.
So, I will follow up with the person to try to figure out something that works.

I am trying to put the conference on a weekend — i.e., Saturday & Sunday.
And trying to put the conference in the summer (because the weather is a lot nicer there in the summer).
I asked them if the room is still available on any weekend (Saturday & Sunday) in August this year.
The room is still available on every Saturday in August, but — the room is occupied every Sunday until 1:30pm.
So —

The person who replied said —
"The room rental for 1 session is: $1,035.00 + taxes"
"The room rental for 2 sessions is: $1,480.00 + taxes"
The person didn't mention what the room rental cost would be for all 3 sessions though. (I.e., for the whole day.) But, I suppose I could guess it is about:
$1,925.00 + taxes
(i.e., $1,925.00 = $1,480 + ($1,480 - $1,035).)

I received a reply about the room I am trying to rent for this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon), that I mentioned here:
https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114003671300156925
I got back pricing information.
It seems they rent rooms by "session". And there are 3 "sessions" per days:
• 8 am - 12 pm (morning session)
• 1 pm - 5 pm (afternoon session)
• 6 am - 10 pm (evening session)

I continue to work on figuring out what it will cost to put on this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon).
One question —
Should we give out Lanyards?
They are those things people are sometimes given at conferences that they put around their necks and usually some type of "badge" with their name on it, hangs from it
And if yes, should they be "branded"?
I know some people keep them as souvenirs
But they have a cost

I have reached out to one location to figure out №1 is the room I am interested in renting for FediCon available, and №2 how much will it cost to rent it (for 2 consecutive days).
I am going to try to put the conference on a weekend (Saturday & Sunday). But that depends on availability and price differences.

Right now I am leaning towards a SINGLE-TRACK conference (for this Fediverse conference in Canada).
(Although still open to a MULTI-TRACK conference.)

If we end up doing a MULTI-TRACK conference (for this Fediverse conference in Canada) then, I still know which spaces we could use.
But, we would need to figure how many rooms we need, the size of each room, etc, to know the exact rooms we might use.

If we end up doing a SINGLE-TRACK conference (for this Fediverse conference in Canada) then, I already know which room to use.
I've been in the room plenty of times (for other conferences).

For this Fediverse conference in Canada —
One thing to figure out is — is the conference SINGLE-TRACK or MULTI-TRACK.
SINGLE-TRACK means that — we have a single (large) room, everyone at the conference is in that room, and only one presentation happens at a time.
MULTI-TRACK means that — we have multiple rooms, multiple presentations are happening at the same time, and people are split between these different rooms.

The name we are going with, for this Fediverse conference in Canada, is:
FediCon
(I have already been using that (FediCon) in the hash-tags. But, just thought I would say it explicitly in an "Organizers Log".)

We are now looking at the city of Vancouver as a location for this conference.
