#theFediverse : "Some might say that #decentralisation without a unifying centre will weaken our collective voice. But history shows that #movements thrive when they are many-voiced. A network of independent spaces, each with its own #governance and #culture, is harder to silence, co-opt, or corrupt than any single global fediverse could ever be."

If you want to get a sense of what the Matrix network will be like once Matrix 2.0 is fully rolled out, get yourself ElementX, and try it with an account on the matrix.org homeserver. I haven't had a chance to really stress test it yet. But from what I've experienced so far, it's a *huge* improvement on Matrix 1.0.

EDIT 2: ElementX is the Matrix 2.0 version of Element. Despite the fact that it remains significantly incomplete, and may not meet all your needs 🤦‍♂️

Important work happening around HTTP Signatures in the Fediverse. Stronger key validation, better digest handling, clearer test vectors—all steps toward more secure and trustworthy ActivityPub communication.

Had my talk on Small Web accepted at but I hadn’t realised (my bad) that not only do you have to cover your own travel and accommodation but you also have to buy a ticket to speak. I’m sorry, as part of a tiny two-person not-for-profit working for the common good, I can’t afford to pay to speak at events. I’m not Deloitte. So I sadly had to withdraw my talk.

If any conferences do want to hear about the Small Web and are willing to support our work by paying us to speak about it, please feel free to get in touch:

Introducing Web Numbers

Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains!

Get ready for an exciting new (old?) way to address (small) web sites in 2026.

(Thanks to @letsencrypt.)

Thanking the @letsencrypt folks for the excellent work they do, and especially for their upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses which is nothing short of revolutionary for the future of the (Small) Web.

Just discovered a second podcast called Decentered (the name of the @wedistribute podcast). Listening to their fantastic interview with @rabble from Nos.social. Where he talks a lot less about the history of Titter, and a lot more about the history of Indymedia, and his more recent work with decentralised social media;
