On the complexities of protocol governance.

>There are only two organisations that are active in the fediverse that are a paid member of the W3C: Meta and the Social Web Foundation.

>With the Social Web Foundation also receiving funding from Meta, the company that built Threads now has more institutional standing in ActivityPub governance than any of the organisations actually building open fediverse software.

>Mastodon gGmbH, Framasoft, and others are not W3C members and cannot participate in the Working Group unless they are invited.

A lot of people made new years resolutions about using social media less. So now we have an optional daily time limit! It’s in https://piefed.social/user/settings.

One nice thing about the fediverse is we don’t need to optimize for addiction and try to keep you here longer than you want to.

The warning pops up with every page load so just clicking through it once won’t work. It’s for your own good!

I have received word that there are people combing through the PieFed code looking for anything that might be harmful. This is excellent and can only make PieFed better and less harmful.

We appreciate their interest in PieFed and look forward to answering any questions and showing people around the code. Please join us at https://chat.piefed.social or https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-developers:matrix.org.

There’s no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we’re right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water’s fine!

Am feeling good about my 2026 prediction about #Piefed https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=120

Comparing my #Mastodon stats from one year ago: I gained 781 subscribers (quickly heading towards 3,750!), tooted 4,795 times, and enjoyed interfacing with more #Fediverse software most notably #PieFed.

I know 2025 may have seemed like a bit of a dry spell for fedi, but I am feeling very good about 2026. I firmly believe our best days are ahead of us!

Viva la ResistanceNet! ✊

Is there a way to quote post #Piefed posts from Mastodon yet? If not, why not?

I've seen the raw HTML for some #piefed post content showing in the spoilerText field on some platforms via the mastodon api, including #gotosocial, #neodb (takahe/incarnator) and I think #pleroma. My current kludge is to check the spoilerText for html tags (specifically, a beginning <p>).
