What are subjects related to the #Fediverse, #Bluesky, and the entire open social web that are at the top of your mind now, in late summer 2025?
How could we get them best covered at FediForum in October?
Yes, effectively the adoption strategy is founded on the existing broad adoption of the whole web technology stack. That's one smart way to go and build on the shoulders of giants, then leapfrog ahead.
It also anchors us to existing web tech as the one and only way, a given. Despite the protocol stack having many issues and countless innovations available where people are exploring new areas. E.g. @interpeer @librecast
Defaulting to Web may inhibit these.
Btw, I'm personally convinced that we'll move towards hybrid decentralization where federation and #p2p co-exist peacefully side-by-side.
Regarding web I think there are natural places where the technology shines, in linking #hypermedia resources. And places where its use represents a Golden Hammer anti-pattern.
For #LinkedData I feel it has yet to see its killer app, that such hypothetical app exists, yet likely never materializes.

You might have a look if maybe there isn't a cool combination to make with #Datastar at https://data-star.dev which recently went v1.0
They continue where #HTMX stopped, in #hypermedia land, where they use #WebComponents for complex UI.
