Ivan! Do you have anyone from Bonfire that will be able to make it to London for Feb 4-5?
Implementing Encrypted Messaging over ActivityPub
@snow @xabacadabra @tassoman @kenobit altro possibile fronte di azione comune: azioni legali per chiedere ai siti della pubblica amministrazione che espongono le icone dei social commerciali di dotarsi anche di un account nel fediverso, con esposto all’antitrust e alle associazioni dei consumatori se qualche ente pubblico favorisce piattaforme commerciali discriminando gli utenti di quelle libere.
@gubi@sociale.network @kenobit@livellosegreto.it @tassoman@misskey.social @snow@snowfan.it @xabacadabra@misskey.social chiedere ai siti della pubblica amministrazione (o a qualunque sito/progetto finanziato con fondi pubblici) di quantomeno inserire link a social aperti è anche una delle proposte spinte dalla nascente Social Web Advocacy Group...
Ho scoperto da poco questo evento che sembra andare in quella direzione fedivariety.org/unconference
@gubi @snow @xabacadabra @tassoman
Per organizzare una festa del fediverso, contate assolutamente su di me. Mi sembra un'idea bellissima e potremmo farla in più parti d'Italia.
@kenobit@livellosegreto.it @gubi@sociale.network @tassoman@misskey.social @snow@snowfan.it @xabacadabra@misskey.social concordo tantissimo sulla festa itinerante!
We're very excited to announce that we're sponsoring Protocols for Publishers - @team - in London.
As well as helping support the event, @saskia will be joined by Siddhartha from The Bristol Cable to talk about building a social app for a local community, with their local news publisher.

wow c'è un nuovo centro culturale a gaeta, la #casamatta!
If you're looking for a quick present for someone, ebooks are always great, and I've got a great one for the poli-sci, cyberpunk, big data nerd, and/or sci fi political thriller fan in your life. www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/...
Always cool to read Donna Haraway and realize how much influenced bonfire and how much it is connected to it:
"Thinking-with / Becoming-wth : A practice of engagement where one takes up ideas or relationships (like a cat's cradle) and carries them forward, creating new patterns, emphasizing trust, relay, and shared making rather than individual ownership."
Moved to @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net and feels very good so far 🙃
I have huge respect for everyone contributing to the Fediverse: the larger-than-life architects like @cwebber @evan (without whom we would literally all not be here), implementers like @dansup bringing photo & video to it, new projects like @newsmast @michael @FreddieJ @saskia @bonfire @ivan @mayel orgs like @Flipboard @mike @john @ghost @activitypub.blog @pfefferle bringing the media over to the Fediverse, and @rileytestut @altstore for trying out completely new things.

Bellissimo progetto del collettivo @Bida: offrire supporto e infrastrutture tecniche per rendere semplice per chiunque creare una propria istanza Mastodon
It’s so rare that somebody talks about care in a presentation about software! 🌻
Thank you @Bonfire ❤️
I love that @ivan and @mayel bring #anarchism to #SFSCON 🤟🏼

@kenobit@livellosegreto.it io utilizzo sempre la f minuscola. La motivazione principale è che imo resta fondamentale sottolineare che non esiste IL fediverso, ma ne esistono molteplici. Utilizzare la maiuscola mi da l impressione di riferirmi ad un nome proprio... una persona, una città, un'istituzione... ma il fediverso contiene moltitudini 😄
I wrote about tensions and troubles for Bluesky on @techpolicypress.bsky.social and then I wrote about the TPP piece on wrecka.ge and now I am posting about it the post on Bluesky. Look at this cloud.

#GoToSocial has been approved for NLnet NGI Zero Commons funding for 2026! That is, among a number of other cool projects you can check out here:
https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251016-selection-NGI0CommonsFund.html
The blurb for what we'll be working on in 2026 is as follows:
GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server, written in Go. It complements existing ActivityPub implementations by providing a lightweight, customizable entryway into decentralized social media hosting. GoToSocial places a high value on ease of deployment and maintenance; this means low system requirements, minimal external dependencies, and clear documentation. GoToSocial empowers self-hosting newcomers to deploy small, personalized instances, from which they connect to others across the Fediverse, using low-powered equipment lying around at home. In this project, the GoToSocial team adds new moderation and federation features to GoToSocial, bringing it towards a version 1.0 release (projected end 2026).
Translated to something more concrete, that means we're going to be working on implementing: relay support, instance limits and mutes, old status cleanup, more easily configurable memory usage, tracking of unreachable instances, better search, and a bunch of performance improvements to keep GtS running well on lower-spec computers. And of course, fixing bugs, and likely implementing a few other cheeky features between the soup and the potatoes (kim is interested in looking at quote posts, for example, and tobi will likely do some silly things like the recent ListenBrainz integration).
If things turn out favorably, this chunk of work will bring us towards calling a proper v1.0.0 release by the end of 2026. Ie., we'll finally be able to say "it's good enough to recommend to people".
Thanks for reading! 🏳️🌈

One more time it becomes clear to me that #flohmarkt (a fediverse market place), #bookwyrm (a decentral place for book, ratings and reviews) and events in the fediverse habe quite some problems in common. For example semantic hashtags, or call them categories, or focussing on non-note contents. I hope we can to collaborate more on solving these issues! #Fediday
