Could we have a moment of appreciation for @deadsuperhero who runs (amongst other things) the Spectra.Video PeerTube server?
I'm just going through looking for accounts to feature on fedi.video and there is SO MUCH good stuff being hosted by Spectra.Video and Sean is paying all SV's bills.
If you enjoy PeerTube you might want to send some money to the SV OpenCollective to help Sean cover its costs:

When @heidilifeldman learned that food benefits were to be withheld in the U.S., she wanted to do something about it — and so she turned to the fediverse. She talked to Grapevine, the platform she used to facilitate a Giving Circle that has so far raised $14,000 for food banks, about mobilizing her @Mastodon community to help communities IRL.

Huh. Just chatted in person with someone who's been on #mastodon for a while, now, who honestly thought that all the Mastodon domains were run by Mastodon. And having a different domain was, like, just a vanity thing to look cool. It only came up because they were complaining about an issue they were having, and they were on a smaller server (not naming it for anonymity), so I suggested contacting their server admin about the problem. I was surprised when they answered "Dude nobody at big companies reads those reports. It just all goes to AI or whatever." It took some actual convincing to get them to believe that the server they're on does, in fact, have a living breathing human admin who can be talked to.
Anyway, folks, support your #fediverse server admins and moderators. With money, where you can. They're almost certainly getting messages from users who think that reporting things to an admin here is exactly like reporting stuff to Facebook or Google. IE: screaming at a giant faceless entity who's never going to care or do anything about whatever your problem is.

I've improved federation support for Lemmy and other servers that support FEP-1b12 Group Federation.
I had to increase the number of available file descriptors on my personal server 4x because of the resultant inbound volume of ActivityPub activities! I liked a federated post and DOSed my server.

friends! Yay!!
We were able “ by your donations “ to pay the first installment of Noor's tuition fees for her registration in medical school.
Noor is now a student in medical school!
It remains for us to pay the rest of the installment before the end of December as soon as possible.
Please donate.
Every time you donate $25, it is as if you are buying a small notebook for Noor

EU Commission's X account has been removed after the EU fined X for transparency failures at the tune $150,000,000. I hope someone at the EU is paying attention to X's behavior as well as our growing community here on the #fediverse .

RE: https://eupolicy.social/@offene_netzwerke/115666635057884453
Two months ago, after our #Fediday @berlinfediday I had the idea for a campaign 🇪🇺 #eusummit25
Two weeks later, we had a paper with 4 demands that will help establish real digital #sovereignty & strengthen existing open #social #networks, like the #Fediverse. ✨
On the 12th of November, we launched our #alliance with a press conference.
Today, the 30th organisation joins our alliance for #open networks. It is my very pleasure and hounour that @edri supports our demands 🚀
