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/

What's the best thing that happened to you on the Open Social Web all week?
I’ve 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’m thinking of adopting it to describe the broader cause. Thoughts?
Maybe a good topic for #fediforumfriday .

Sneaking in a quick #FediforumFriday post! I’m really interested in https://wanderer.to/ which is a trails database / app that federates. Would be great to have them demo at a future #Fediforum 🤞🏻
What if, as we are building out the open social web, we prioritized increasing the joy people can feel when interacting with other people online? Like Christine proposed in her keynote! https://spectra.video/w/aQgZJDLam35wUcBd23yU2t?start=0s
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.
Back in the year 2022 — myself, @atomicpoet , and @massoud were talking about how to FUND THE FEDIVERSE.
• to help sysops pay server bills,
• to support developers creating Fedi software, and
• to fund creators on the Fediverse,
...
This same topic came up in this year's FediForum 2025!
...
Given the importance of funding the Fediverse and the recent discussion — soon it will be released as open-source software.

There was an interesting follow up discussion happening around account portability and identity this week: https://j12t.social/@j12t/114705580486516177 . There's some super interesting links on that thread too for you to read more.
If you have thoughts or ideas, go continue the discussion this #FediForumFriday
