A quiet afternoon, then a sudden, beautiful interruption. An unexpected message from a stunning person, a silent force in the fediverse. They've done more for this place and for me than so many of the more vocal accounts - more than I have, even.
This is the very essence of what I adore about this community. It's a place for genuine connection, where real people build real relationships.
To the one who sent that message: Thank you. It arrived exactly when I needed it most.
I hope all of you Fedi Friends are having a wonderful day! Our upcoming schedule has changed a bit, so please note any any changes of folks you would like to watch! Also please check https://firesidefedi.live if you would like to add a public calendar of events or need a link to any of the projects we're running.
2025/05/05 - @blenderdumbass - Movie and software creator.
2025/05/13 - @pluralistic - science fiction author, activist and journalist

I am also working to get the wonderful @booteille reschedule. And I apologize, but due to schedule conflicts I also have to reschedule @labr@ravenation.club.
I'm working on scheduling many more folks! So if you're enjoying this then please boost it out, send me comments, criticisms, etc.
Especially let me know who YOU would like to hear from or if YOU yourself would like to join! And before you ask, YES YOU are important! Every single one of us matters! We ALL have something to talk about. We've all lived unique lives. You are not "too small" or "not interesting". We're literally all here for YOU!

I perceive 3 fediverses..
fediverse-we-have: Has proven it works, and has delightful #apps to show for it.
fediverse-we-need: The future of #SocialNetworking, where it pervasively serves #people and #society at large.
#fediverse-we-get: Still unknown.
Imho the trajectory of #development of the fediverse-we-have does not lead to fediverse-we-need.
Fediverse-we-get on this path is either a nice #SocialMedia niche for a time, or eventual corporate capture and takeover. A corporate #SocialWeb.
Good day you #beautiful #FediFriends! Just a reminder that tomorrow, May 1st (can't believe it's May already) at 0900 Eastern / UTC -4, we'll be speaking with @ChrisWere !
Just a reminder that Chris is a former #Youtuber, now exclusive to #Peertube and is on shows #Freebooters and #Space #Virgins: First Contact.
Please send me any questions you might have Chris!

Just a reminder to folks that I'm going to be talking with @freebliss tomorrow, July 31st at 1300 Eastern UTC-4.
This certainly isn't because I'm doing my show notes atm and doing research, but Simon's stuff is fantastic and I can't wait to show it off. Not just Simon's #developer #projects, but also Simon's #art.
Very excited to talk to Simon tomorrow! Everyone make sure to let me know any questions you have for Simon and/or stop by the Livestream! Catch the VOD or Fedicast afterwards!
