The crew needed is good faith in action, a crew committed to holding good faith, even in the face of bad faith pushback. People willing to pick up shovels, get dirty, and start composting. This isn’t about idealism; it’s about grounded action, learning from past projects like #indymedia and #Fediverse experiments, using what worked, and discarding what didn’t.

What is need:

Builders: Coders who understand that tech is just a tool, not a solution.

Moderators: People who know the value of careful curation and trust networks.

Storytellers: Those who can document, explain, and inspire others to walk the paths.

Bridge-builders: Activists who can connect different communities and facilitate cooperation.

This work isn’t glamorous. It won’t get you VC funding or a keynote at a tech conference. But it will lay the groundwork for something real, a decentralized,

Auf dem CoopCamp in Leipzig ging es um #Genossenschaften und eine kooperative Wirtschaft.

Genosse @peter präsentierte auf dem Barcamp unsere #Mastodon Instanz für Genossenschaften und erklärte das #Fediverse – mittlerweile immerhin ein Grimme-Preisträger. 😉

Das Programm war so umfangreich, dass man ganz viele interessante Sessions leider verpasste.

Unser Blogartikel spiegelt deshalb nur einen kleinen Ausschnitt wider.

Hi #Fediverse! The instance I'm on is closing down (see the historians.social announcement here: https://www.cliodigital.media/updates/update-on-historianssocial ). So, I'm looking for a new instance. Where would you recommend?

(I post coins, numismatic news, history and information related to the coins I post etc).

(For those not familiar, as & when I find a new home, you won't need to do anything, everyone who follows me will still follow me when I move).

Recommendations welcome! #Numismatics #histodons @numismatics @histodons

Sadly I've returned from vacay, albeit moving slowly (jet lag sucks - but at least my flight left)

#FediForum was great (and exhausting) as always!

Really missed out on having @news cover the event this year.

Their play by play coverage has always been a staple in my morning after debrief. How am I supposed to follow everything myself? Really makes you realise how valuable WeDistribute is for the Fediverse and whole Social Web.

They are our local news. If you haven't already, please check them out.

Anybody have a recommendation for their favorite model of Chromebook to install Linux on?

I'm looking to acquire either a used Cromebook to have for a light "carryin' around" machine.

We're excited to announce that @altstore has joined the fediverse! Their innovative implementation of ActivityPub allows you to follow updates from your favorite apps, demonstrating a new way to bring more apps to the open social web.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for their generous donation, in support of our mission to create an open and safe social internet.

Welcome to the fediverse family, AltStore!

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.

Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.

Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?

Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.
