Very exciting news this #FediForumFriday that #Bandwagon now allows musicians to sell their music on the platform!

Huge well done to @benpate , this feels like a huge step forward for creatives to me, making the Fediverse more viable for them from a "trying to exist under capitalism" point of view.

Do you have something interesting to say or present about the #Fediverse or the open social web, and are you looking for an opportunity to visit beautiful South Tyrol in the Italian Alps?

Consider joining us https://fediforum.org/news/2025-07-09-fediforum-partners-with-sfscon-november-2025-bolzano/

We are still open to presentations and more. #FediForumFriday.

@ozoned @j12t at the last FediForum there was some discussion on how to keep people in contact & actually checking in with projects they were excited about, and just keep the momentum going.
I proposed #FediForumFriday as a weekly hashtag for folks to congregate around: https://bushnellcommunitysolutions.com/fedi-forum-friday/ .
@naturzukunft @fediforum#FediforumFriday is a way to share and continue the vibe from the events, in between the events - a hashtag @alexisbushnell proposed for sharing something interesting, or checking in with Fedi projects, every week. Join in! 馃槃 https://bushnellcommunitysolutions.com/fedi-forum-friday/

I鈥檝e been doing some thinking on how the #fediverse, the #opensocialweb etc relate to other causes, like #privacy, or #dataportability, or #digitalsovereignty, even the #righttorepair. It appears that ultimately they all want similar things for the users of technology:

More Digital Freedom.

Some people have been using this term for a long time, I鈥檓 thinking of adopting it to describe the broader cause. Thoughts?

Maybe a good topic for #fediforumfriday .
