I got my first follower from Threads. The Fediverse integration is moving forward, but it feels like they've given up on Europe since the feature still isn't working here. Honestly, I’m not holding out much hope anymore.

🎂 Congrats @microformats.org on 20 years! #microformats20

Even after 20 years, people keep discovering new ways of using #microformats:

> Because WML elements may have the class attribute

That adds to the list of languages with working microformats examples:
* HTML — modern, unversioned as well as every version since HTML4
* HTML3 — see https://microformats.org/wiki/html3
* SVG — see https://microformats.org/wiki/svg
* XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
and now also:
* WML — https://microformats.org/wiki/wml

Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.

In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.

Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.

After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.

Anyone know if @loops is dead of not? There hasn't been android update since Feb which was just a login fix.

The app is pretty unusable. One small incorrect touch and you jump back to the top for starters. :(

What I love about the #fediverse is the lack of false projections of life. Where on #Instagram you see a curated photo that was carefully staged to make you feel a certain way, I come here and look at people genuinely enjoying taking pictures of flowers, cats, hobbies, etc. Out of pure sheer enjoyment. I can see people on the other side of the world hanging at a beer fest or going for a walk on a trail with a wonderful view. Either way all of that to say... Keep em coming I love to see what little things make people happy and I love being included in your view of the world. 🍹

The Fediverse Report will now be known as Connected Places, still keeping a. weekly fediverse report along with other decentralized platforms in separate newsletters.

This makes sense to me, as I have followed Laurens work for a few years now. They have never been ONLY covering the fediverse - Nostr, Farcaster, Bluesky - were always fully investigated, understood and reported on. It's one of the reason I subscribed early on.

Now the name fits!

Overlooking the Rady Shell amphitheater, a fediverse sticker has been placed by <someone> on a lamp post on the patio of the convention center.

This is a perfect spot, as they tend to blast classic Star Wars soundtracks to test audio setups during the week. Sure to attract potential fedizens!

@anewsocial has the sticker if you’d like to purchase it

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

The Fediverse Report will now be known as Connected Places, still keeping a. weekly fediverse report along with other decentralized platforms in separate newsletters.

This makes sense to me, as I have followed Laurens work for a few years now. They have never been ONLY covering the fediverse - Nostr, Farcaster, Bluesky - were always fully investigated, understood and reported on. It's one of the reason I subscribed early on.

Now the name fits!

Mastodon (and other Fedi software) should stop stripping the C2PA manifest from the EXIF of uploaded media.

In the long run there are lots of good C2PA things to be done, but for now, just get out of the way and let the emergent ecosystem of tools work with it.

Probably best as an opt-in, although in all the software I've seen, to get C2PA in your images you have to explicitly request it, so one assumes anyone who does that and shares wants to share the provenance too.

This video from @_elena captures what makes the #fediverse so exciting. You watch it & think “How could anyone NOT think this was a good idea?”

Will it move the needle against all the FUD? (“it’s too complicated", “mastodon’s full of woke scolds”, “how will I know which server to choose?”, "what are all these apps anyway?”)

I don't know. But it's worth sharing with people who aren't already in the Fediverse, just in case it makes them go “Huh. That sounds neat.”

This is a perfect spot, as they tend to blast classic Star Wars soundtracks to test audio setups during the week. Sure to attract potential fedizens!

@netzpolitik_feed Folgendes gehört zum 1x1 der eigenen digitalen Aktivitäten: Die Basics unter eigener Kontrolle, also mindestens auf eigener Domain, bei entsprechender personeller und finanzieller Ressource auch auf eigener Hardware. Grundsätzlich und immer.

Die Basics sind:
- Internetseite,
- eMail-Account,
- Rückkanal für eigene Veröffentlichungen (= Social Media),
- Messenger.

Wenn das gewährleistet ist und noch personelle und finanzielle Kapazitäten frei sind, dann können die auf selbstverwalteten Wegen publizierten Sachen zusätzlich auch auf anderen Plattformen veröffentlicht werden (Zweit-, Dritt- usw.-Verwertung).

Aber erst die digitale Souveränität sicherstellen und so viele Interessierte auf die selbstverwalteten Plattformen lenken.

BTW: Der Heise-Verlag (ct, iX) verkauft Merch. Beliebt ist dort der Getränkebecher "Kein Backup, kein Mitleid".
So verhält es sich auch hier: "Keine selbstverwalteten Primär-Kanäle, kein Mitleid".

Fediverse Report – #121

Developers of the WordPress ActivityPub talks about how they plan to make WordPress websites a full member of the fediverse, videos of FediForum available, and bridging to Bluesky op a per-server basis.

I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!

The News

Fediforum has published the videos of the keynotes and the software demos. For a list of all the demos, you can check out the website. Some thoughts on some of the demoes that stood out to me. For some of the other cool demos (such as Bounce and Bandwagon), check out last week’s news.

• The keynote by Christine Lemmer-Webber talks about how the social media style of the 2010s is no longer good enough. With this, she refers to both the fediverse as well as Bluesky. Lemmer-Webber makes the case we live in an age of surveillance, and both Bluesky and the fediverse do not meet the need for safety and privacy that comes with that. She says that shame is not an effective way to get people to use better platforms, and that we need to bring joy to the new platforms. Lemmer-Webber is now working on different protocols with the Spritely Institute, that use Object Capabilities. I’ll go into more detail on that once Spritely gets closer to public usage, but to hugely oversimplify: with Object Capabilities, you can enforce who has access to your data that you send out. Seeing one of the co-authors of ActivityPub actively advocating for further development of new open protocols indicates to what extend the space of the open social web is still in active development.
• BadgeFed is a platform for issues badges using the Open Badges standard and ActivityPub protocol, where the badges can later be verified cryptographically. There are some interesting parallels with how people are developing badges on ATProto, and it seems to me that both networks are now in the stage that there are solid proofs that you can build systems for credentials on decentralised protocols. The next stage is seeing how people will start using these new systems.
• For developers: ActivityFuzz is an upcoming project from Darius Kazemi, and builds upon the Fediverse Schema Observatory. These tools give a much greater insight into how all the different fediverse projects have implemented ActivityPub in practice, and shows all the differences. This makes building fediverse platforms that are compatible with other platforms more accessible.
• Gobo is a client that allows people to post to multiple different platforms, including Mastodon and Bluesky. One of the challenges with cross-posting tools is that these platforms have different character limits, which Gobo has some nice ways of setting the cutoff-point for a longer text thats different for each platform.
• Encyclia is a recently-announced project to make ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) records connected to the fediverse, with the demo providing a first view of what this looks like in practice.
• The Build Your Own Timeline Algorithm takes your Mastodon timeline and uses various customisable algorithms to create custom clusterings for the post, allowing you to sort your timeline into various different topics.

The team implementing the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress has posted a blog with a roadmap what they are working on. The team has plans to majorly expand the plugin, and make WordPress a full member of the fediverse. So far, the interaction has mainly focused on publishing to the fediverse, which will now be expanded to also be able to follow, read and interact with the rest of the fediverse directly via a WordPress account. The main feature will be a reader experience, which is effectively a timeline feed within WordPress. It places WordPress into even more direct competition with Ghost, who also offers a timeline reader as part of their ActivityPub integration.

The Social Web Foundation released a draft of their work to implement end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging over ActivityPub. Their plan uses Messaging Layer Security (MLS), a protocol for encrypting messages, that is designed to be used in combination with other protocols for sending the encrypted messages. One of the parts that is missing for ActivityPub is the ability to send real private messages to each other, and an integration with MLS can help with that. It might take a while before it gets there, this first version of the draft is now ready for proof-of-concept implementations and interoperability testing.

Bridgy Fed, the bridging software that connects ActivityPub with ATProto, has gotten an update where server admins can opt-in to the bridge for their entire server. For some context: Bridgy Fed was originally designed to be opt-out, meaning that every fediverse account could automatically be bridged to the Bluesky network and visa versa. After massive pushback from the fediverse community, this was changed to opt-in, where people have to actively take action to have their account be connected to the other network. The debate laid bare to what extend the fediverse struggled with being a decentralised network, where decentralised means that there are different communities with values that at times are incompatible with each other. Instead the debate got largely framed in terms of what the value (opt-in or opt-out) should be for the entire network. However, with this latest update individual communities can now be independently decide for themselves if they want to be connected to other protocols by default.

The Links

• Bonfire has added the ability to create a separate ‘Events’ feed for Mobilizon and Gancio events.
• Canvas is a yearly fediverse event where people can paint on a shared canvas, one pixel at a time, for 48 hours. This year’s Canvas event will start on July 12th.
• Mastodon has made some tweaks to smaller screen layouts on web.
• Fediverse Support Line #2 – Migrating – FediHost Podcast.
• Ghost talks about how they are making all replies show up.
• This week’s fediverse software updates.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

@Mikal The #Fediverse "been built by and for users and not fashy billionaires, it requires more direct participation, more tolerance for all the rough edges" True, true.

I agree with everything in the article, https://www.timothychambers.net/2025/06/18/113327.html, and many of the comments, but that phrase can't be stressed enough.

Would also like to mention, regarding the article by @tchambers, of all the critiques of the Fediverse, Mastodon, etc, it's nice to see one coming from love instead of a tech journalist that is not willing to understand, at this point of development, the Fediverse, esp Mastodon, has "been built by and for users and not fashy billionaires, it requires more direct participation, more tolerance for all the rough edges"

I think that is why the community is taking this critique to heart in the comments.

Wir haben Euch in unserem Newsletter und hier im #Fediverse gefragt, wo man überall das #Deutschlandticket ohne App-Zwang / Digitalzwang bekommen kann. Daraus ist eine Tabelle mit ca. 180 Einträgen geworden (die sich auch mobil betrachten lässt.) Weitersagen! ReTrööten, bitte!

Ein weiteres großes Plus für öffentliche Einrichtungen und Akteure mit #Nachhaltigkeitsanspruch, ins #Fediverse zu starten:

Mastodon ist jetzt als einzige #SocialMedia-Option als digitales öffentliches Gut anerkannt. Heißt:

#Mastodon hilft, #SDGs zu erreichen. 🤝

Die Alternativen #X #Instagram #TikTok & Co. können das nicht.

@Mikal The #Fediverse "been built by and for users and not fashy billionaires, it requires more direct participation, more tolerance for all the rough edges" True, true.

I agree with everything in the article, https://www.timothychambers.net/2025/06/18/113327.html, and many of the comments, but that phrase can't be stressed enough.

Would also like to mention, regarding the article by @tchambers, of all the critiques of the Fediverse, Mastodon, etc, it's nice to see one coming from love instead of a tech journalist that is not willing to understand, at this point of development, the Fediverse, esp Mastodon, has "been built by and for users and not fashy billionaires, it requires more direct participation, more tolerance for all the rough edges"

I think that is why the community is taking this critique to heart in the comments.

Already spotted several fellow fediverse fighters including @renchap for @Mastodon on a panel.

#Fediverse #openscicomm

The videos from #PubConf last week are up @publicspaces and that means I get to mention a few talks that I think you may enjoy... Starting with a great panel featuring @_elena @babetteknauer @wendyhk about engagement strategies for the #fediverse

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

meta/threads invading #fediverse doesn’t feel like “growth”. it feels like a trojan horse.

this place was built on care, consent, moderation, open tech, and trust.
meta doesn’t share those values, they’ve spent years doing the opposite.

they’re not “joining” fediverse. they’re trying to shape it in their image.
if we don’t push back, we’ll end up with the same algorithmic garbage we came here to escape.

this isn’t gatekeeping. it’s protecting something rare.

Quite a few have blocked #Threads. See #FediPact, though I don't know if the list is still actively maintained and up-to-date.

https://fedipact.online

Other than that #Meta has taken strategic position on the #ActivityPub #Fediverse, and effectively hold the cards. Opinions vary on this.

In any case building it was a big success for them. Built on a dime on top of #Instagram stack, see:

https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/building-metas-threads-app

I'd say they are ready to pounce but ONLY if needed.

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.

This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.

Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.

This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.

@jeff @TheAdmin can u please assist w my concern re #threads access to our postings & #fediverse per this update #Threads is largest app to adopt #ActivityPub, protocol powering the fediverse, worrying some that Meta will take over decentralized, open source social network made up of interconnected servers. Though Threads isn’t yet full integrated, already some #Mastodon server operators have preemptively #blocked Threads, so their users can’t interact w Meta-run social network and vice versa.

This week's #fediverse news:

- @activitypub.blog talks about how they plan to make WordPress sites a full member of the fediverse, with replies, follows, and your own feed
- @fediforum videos now available, with some thoughts on the ones that stood out to me
- server admins can now opt-in to @fed.brid.gy on a per-server basis
- @swf releases draft for E2EE messaging over #activitypub with MLS

もうすっかりやる気無くしてたのかと思ってたよ。これでようやくThreadsを避難所として使えるようになるかなあ。

@julian

This is great, really love it. I recently overhauled the #Fediverse Experience curated list, with a different taxonomy to highlight more innovative #ActivityPub areas other than those where adoption is already going strong.

The #OpenScience section still has disappointing few entries, so I am delighted to add @encyclia as newcomer.

A question for all of you on the #Fediverse (and especially #Musicians, #Writers, and #Artists) who sell your work online:

Do you know how you receive payments right now?

I want to connect the most fedi-friendly platforms into #Bandwagon, #Emissary, and beyond.. so I'd love to hear what works best for you :)

Probably old news by now, but Threads now includes a dedicated fediverse timeline of trending content and easier fediverse account search.

An interview with the Threads developers about the updates is here:

This week's #fediverse news:

- @activitypub.blog talks about how they plan to make WordPress sites a full member of the fediverse, with replies, follows, and your own feed
- @fediforum videos now available, with some thoughts on the ones that stood out to me
- server admins can now opt-in to @fed.brid.gy on a per-server basis
- @swf releases draft for E2EE messaging over #activitypub with MLS

https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-121/

Always wanted to #selfhost your #Fediverse instance but were always worried about system administration trauma?

Do you ever have to run around your flat, picking up all the leftover parentheses from yesterday's party with your hosting coop coworkers?

Then you are probably the right person, check out this post about fearless #Bonfire hosting on a #Guix System. You'll learn that taking care of a community is much more manageable when you let computer do the boring work for you.

Set up HTTPS, automatic backups, automatic nightly upgrades and join the awesome Bonfire community without a single worry on losing data from your instance.

Fediverse Report – #121

Developers of the WordPress ActivityPub talks about how they plan to make WordPress websites a full member of the fediverse, videos of FediForum available, and bridging to Bluesky op a per-server basis.

I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!

The News

Fediforum has published the videos of the keynotes and the software demos. For a list of all the demos, you can check out the website. Some thoughts on some of the demoes that stood out to me. For some of the other cool demos (such as Bounce and Bandwagon), check out last week’s news.

• The keynote by Christine Lemmer-Webber talks about how the social media style of the 2010s is no longer good enough. With this, she refers to both the fediverse as well as Bluesky. Lemmer-Webber makes the case we live in an age of surveillance, and both Bluesky and the fediverse do not meet the need for safety and privacy that comes with that. She says that shame is not an effective way to get people to use better platforms, and that we need to bring joy to the new platforms. Lemmer-Webber is now working on different protocols with the Spritely Institute, that use Object Capabilities. I’ll go into more detail on that once Spritely gets closer to public usage, but to hugely oversimplify: with Object Capabilities, you can enforce who has access to your data that you send out. Seeing one of the co-authors of ActivityPub actively advocating for further development of new open protocols indicates to what extend the space of the open social web is still in active development.
• BadgeFed is a platform for issues badges using the Open Badges standard and ActivityPub protocol, where the badges can later be verified cryptographically. There are some interesting parallels with how people are developing badges on ATProto, and it seems to me that both networks are now in the stage that there are solid proofs that you can build systems for credentials on decentralised protocols. The next stage is seeing how people will start using these new systems.
• For developers: ActivityFuzz is an upcoming project from Darius Kazemi, and builds upon the Fediverse Schema Observatory. These tools give a much greater insight into how all the different fediverse projects have implemented ActivityPub in practice, and shows all the differences. This makes building fediverse platforms that are compatible with other platforms more accessible.
• Gobo is a client that allows people to post to multiple different platforms, including Mastodon and Bluesky. One of the challenges with cross-posting tools is that these platforms have different character limits, which Gobo has some nice ways of setting the cutoff-point for a longer text thats different for each platform.
• Encyclia is a recently-announced project to make ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) records connected to the fediverse, with the demo providing a first view of what this looks like in practice.
• The Build Your Own Timeline Algorithm takes your Mastodon timeline and uses various customisable algorithms to create custom clusterings for the post, allowing you to sort your timeline into various different topics.

The team implementing the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress has posted a blog with a roadmap what they are working on. The team has plans to majorly expand the plugin, and make WordPress a full member of the fediverse. So far, the interaction has mainly focused on publishing to the fediverse, which will now be expanded to also be able to follow, read and interact with the rest of the fediverse directly via a WordPress account. The main feature will be a reader experience, which is effectively a timeline feed within WordPress. It places WordPress into even more direct competition with Ghost, who also offers a timeline reader as part of their ActivityPub integration.

The Social Web Foundation released a draft of their work to implement end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging over ActivityPub. Their plan uses Messaging Layer Security (MLS), a protocol for encrypting messages, that is designed to be used in combination with other protocols for sending the encrypted messages. One of the parts that is missing for ActivityPub is the ability to send real private messages to each other, and an integration with MLS can help with that. It might take a while before it gets there, this first version of the draft is now ready for proof-of-concept implementations and interoperability testing.

Bridgy Fed, the bridging software that connects ActivityPub with ATProto, has gotten an update where server admins can opt-in to the bridge for their entire server. For some context: Bridgy Fed was originally designed to be opt-out, meaning that every fediverse account could automatically be bridged to the Bluesky network and visa versa. After massive pushback from the fediverse community, this was changed to opt-in, where people have to actively take action to have their account be connected to the other network. The debate laid bare to what extend the fediverse struggled with being a decentralised network, where decentralised means that there are different communities with values that at times are incompatible with each other. Instead the debate got largely framed in terms of what the value (opt-in or opt-out) should be for the entire network. However, with this latest update individual communities can now be independently decide for themselves if they want to be connected to other protocols by default.

RE: #Mastodon's TOS update

So I use raindrop io and iOS Reading List, two bookmarking services that offer off-line reader ability.

Am I to believe I can no longer bookmark mastodon dot social posts without the threat of being banned?

Also, is #InternetArchive now banned from archiving mastodon dot social posts?

Lol. Another depressing Fediverse "update" on Threads has Fediverse users cornered off like the evil stepchild and still can't reply.

Feeling like the dream of true cross communication on Fediverse is dead more and more every second.😒

Fediverse will never be fully cross platform with these billion dollar corporations.

They're too scared of losing their users.🤦‍♂️

@_elena @themipper @softcatala per si voleu col•laborar en traduir aquest magnífics videos de promoció del #fediverse

I saw #mastodonSocial just updated their terms of service to prohibit scraping data for training #LLMs which sucks. Maybe I'll move instances again.

But I wonder; how does this work across the #Fediverse? Like, surely an instance that federates with m.s doesn't have to abide by this rule, and could allow the same #ActivityPub content to be scrapped from their servers instead.

Which just makes this kind of performative.

Hello Fedi friends!

A lot of folks asked: how can we share your video on Big Tech platforms to spread the word about the #Fediverse?

Well, we got you covered: @patel.riyen and @samaaberg created short clips (in portrait & landscape mode) optimized for social media sharing.

Plus: 8 downloadable stills and links to Vimeo & YouTube.

I hope you can get your friends & family curious about the Fediverse 🤗

Incredibly, with 30 hours to go, @peertube are less than €8500 from their stretch target of €75,000.
Part of the motivation of this drive was, as far as I can tell, to see if the #fediverse actually liked @Framasoft and their software, guess we know the answer to that one now then...

Bravo #Fedizens...
And Bravo #Framasoft for all your #FOSS work..

👏👏👏

Hey there. AFAIK there are no #Strava alternatives with #ActivityPub yet. However in my recent overhaul of the #Fediverse Experience curated list I found there's one platform planning it:

https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience/#geosocial-networking-planned

There is also a fediverse idea that you might add info to. See: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas/issues/54

There's regular interest for fedi #fitness trackers, and there might be a team of ppl to start a project. I tracked your interest.

CC'ing @dajb showing interest in the past.

@ruari
Is the Strava link set to private, or did they decide that you can no longer show things to non-menbers, like Xitter when Musk took over?

Also, wondering if there's an open alternative (if not, someone go write one that federates with ActivityPub).

Oh, the ⁂ stickers are here! I’ll have some to sell in #Rennes tomorrow and #Montreuil the 22/06.
In-person delivery only for now!

A question for all of you on the #Fediverse (and especially #Musicians, #Writers, and #Artists) who sell your work online:

Do you know how you receive payments right now?

I want to connect the most fedi-friendly platforms into #Bandwagon, #Emissary, and beyond.. so I'd love to hear what works best for you :)

Hm. A "proof of concept" pull request that adds "preliminary ActivityPub support" to Bluesky.

Come on #Fediverse, if you can, put some money where your heart is. The people from Framasoft are working hard on #PeerTube and are only looking for €75.000. With less than 40 hours to go, you can be part of the difference we want to see in the world :)

Soon we will be able to livestream from our smartphone to the fediverse!

Hello to all of #TheGamersTavern folks and beyond!

As you may be aware, we host an instance of @peertube and the developers are looking for donations to further improve their platform! This will mean improvements to the instance we host as well! 😎

They’re less than €13K away from their €75K goal with less than 48 hours left. Let’s help them get there!

You can donate to them using the link below 👇
https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/

Edit: Less than €6K now with just 17 hours left!
