It's #FediForumFriday- your reminder to check in with projects you're excited about, ask for or offer help, or just chat with the folks you met and refresh the joy and motivation you felt at #FediForum.

If you're interested in being part of a task force to help make Fedi more welcoming to BIPOC folks and other marginalised people, drop a reply below so we can see who would be interested. @julian , @narF @travisfw

I would super love for someone to run a #FediForum session on open social web 101 - how the f this all works (for people who aren’t techy!)

Or I will run it and pray people turn up because I am not the person to be teaching that, I just want to learn!

#FediForumFriday

I'm running a session on building community on the open social web. I want to crowdsource ideas and info on building a community focused social media rather than just trying to replicate mainstream platforms.

And small biz & the fediverse, specifically why fedi needs to welcome small biz and how small biz can respect fedi norms and still ethically market. Because what I love is to make people angry... please don't hate me!

#FediForumFriday

It's the last #FediForumFriday before the next #FediForum! So let's share what you're excited for next week, who you're hoping to catch up with, and what you'll be running a session on (if anything).

Alexis Bushnell ( @alexisbushnell), who invented #FediForumFriday at the last #FediForum is again coming to FediForum next week and wants to talk about:

* building community on the open social web - something around making it more community focused than trying to replicated mainstream platforms.

As it's #FediForumFriday, I have a question:

Would anyone be interested in a session at the Oct @fediforum on why seeing and sharing kindness and positivity needs to be a core part of the Open Social Web, and how we can promote it?

#fediforumfriday: this week I've mostly been working on a side project experimenting with OAuth for decentralized & distributed web; To bootstrap this, rather than writing it all from scratch, I worked on reusing the atproto/oauth-provider package, which provides a LOT of functionality (including user registration & authorisation flows)

The OAuth profile is basically OAuth 2.1 + Client ID Metadata Documents + Pushed Authorization Requests + DPoP binding (prevents token theft) + Protected Resource Metadata (discover the authorization server from the resource)

The cool thing? All the SDKs for AT Proto for implementing OAuth servers & clients should mostly be reusable, easing adoption.

https://bsky.app/profile/thisismissem.social/post/3lyz3uigtn22g

I was also involved in conversations that lead to FEP-8967, which recommends software use Link objects in the attachment's to Objects (i.e, Notes) that the software or publisher wishes to prioritise the display of (rather than parsing out the first link in the content). This would also work for previews for links being federated in the future.

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-8967-generating-link-previews-for-attached-links/5598

Besides that, just a lot of other conversations going on.

AT Proto gets a lot of things right in their OAuth profile, which is also similar to the OAuth profile from Solid OIDC (which added on User Managed Access & required OIDC instead of just OAuth)

Essentially you want to be able to safely send a token that identifies you to potentially untrusted servers & not have that access token compromised. That's what DPoP gives you essentially.

It's #FediForumFriday so I'll point out I and others will be presenting at a dedicated Fediverse track with twelve (!) presentations in one day at #SFSCon in November.

Hopefully our attendance will spur SFSCon into creating an account somewhere Fediversal...

You can review the Fediverse track at https://www.sfscon.it/programs/2025/ (choose Fediverse in the drop down)

We have selected the presentations for the Fediverse track we are organizing at #SFSCon and will send out confirmations shortly.

Thanks everybody who proposed a talk! It's going to be a good mix of technical and broader, societal content.

Looking forward to Bolzano in November!

It is MVP right now.
So A LOT more work needs to be done, but — it works.
