Here is the video of our presentation at #fosdem2025 . It was so much fun to attend #FOSDEM for the first time! And to meet IRL all the people we interact with online since months and years, notably @activitypods and @Solid people. Looking forward the next edition! A big thank you to the organizers of the devroom, of the whole @fosdem and to @nlnet
@NGIZero specially for the hexstickers of @leenaars ;)

The Fediverse is Quiet — Let's Fix That! (Slides + Recording)
For those who were unable to attend this past weekend's Social Web After Hours event held at HackerSpace Brussels ( @hsbxl@mastodon.online), I've uploaded a re-recording of my presentation, which you can check out here! Sadly, there was no live recording of the rather lively session, so you'll just have to take my word for it

If you're looking for just the slides, you can get them here as well

You can wear a mask at #FOSDEM #fosdem2025
No one is stopping you.
A well-fitting FFP2 or FFP3 mask reduces your risk of catching respiratory illnesses.
If you have flu or COVID symptoms, the most responsible choice is not to attend a conference. The second best choice is to wear a mask and keep your crud to yourself.
You can avoid killing the sole maintainer of an important piece of code.
You can avoid killing funders of open source code.
You can avoid killing or disabling fellow human beings.
Are you fucking kidding me?

I am at a loss of words. I also owe sincere apologies to everyone flagging issues with FOSDEM over the years, whose concerns I often somewhat minimized. I am sorry, you were all right and I was wrong.
FOSDEM is now explicitly platforming AI/blockchain bro fascists. 🤬
