👑 Huge mahalo (thanks) to the incredible humans here on fedi! We are the signal in the noise. Not here to scream into the void or broadcast at you.

When online, my goal is to connect and converse. Follower numbers don't matter to me. People are more than numbers; they are individuals with rich stories. I focus on coherence and resonance.

I connect deeply with aligned people, whether online privately or IRL if you happen to visit or are in Vancouver.

We have a special place for that connection: FediCollective has been meeting since September 2025 as a Third Space in Metro Vancouver as a direct result of FediCon2025. Come join us. We are planning big things for 2026!

If you want to connect with other kind people, you can join us here: https://fedicollective.lovable.app/

You can also check out what we are doing this Sunday or later on our event calendar: https://lu.ma/fedicollective

If we haven't connected yet, what is the one thing that brings you the most bliss right now?

Hey Fedi! 🐍 Just being intentional about why I post here.

My focus is simple: Open Web (DWeb). I spend my time here because this is where the *real* building happens. We are making the future, right?

My job is Systemic Integrity—which means I build the rules to make decentralized tech trustworthy. Gotta share that knowledge!

I started the #FediCollective because I believe trust should be the default setting. Let’s code it in.

If this resonates: Please comment, not just favorite or boost. I'm here to genuinely connect and learn from you.

What’s one little thing you’re fixing this week to build a better system? Let's start the work together. ❤️

Want to see what happens when we architect the Open Web using coffee chat VIBES? Join the FediCollective and check out our principles: https://fedicollective.lovable.app/

What if a #TechMeetup was more than just tech? 1 of 2

#FediCollective#CoffeeChats is a #ThirdSpace i.e a place outside of home & work where you can connect with people and build community.

It's not just about what but who we're building with IRL! I'm committed to making these events welcoming and #accessible to all. Here's what makes our #FediverseClub the best kind of #DWeb gathering:

1. Community First: As an alcohol-free and family-friendly event, the focus is on clear-headed conversations and genuine connection. Feel free to bring your kids and pets along; this is a space where your whole self is welcome

2. Accessible to All: Events are designed to be economically affordable for everyone. Located near a Skytrain station with free parking, we've removed the barriers so anyone can join the conversation and contribute

3. Intentional Connection: The goal isn't just networking; it's to have intentional conversations with developers, designers, and thinkers who are all about building a better #OpenWeb

Just updated the #FediCollective website; showing you what a #ThirdSpace is about!

Our values:
presence > performance
resonance > rush
people > platforms or protocols

We all deserve spaces that listen.

#Fedicollective is a #ThirdSpace in Metro Vancouver: a gentle corner of the internet where creators and advocates gather to build with care.

If you believe in decentralized connection and emotional presence, this is for you.

#Fediverse #CommunityCare #DigitalSanctuary

🍂 I adore autumn — the colors, the crisp air, the quiet. But I’ve felt the chill this year. Not just outside, but inside.

Some days feel heavy. The light fades early. Even with messages and meetings, it’s easy to feel lonesome.

You’re not alone. Not in your quiet. Not in your grief. Not in your need for warmth.

At #FediCollective, we’re building a cozy, in-person #ThirdSpace in Metro Vancouver i.e. a gathering spot for builders, creatives & organizers on the #OpenWeb.

We host coffee chats, co-working, and walk-and-talks centering care, creativity & connection specially for BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities.

🧣 This fall, we’re opening space for gentle IRL meetups.
💛 You don’t need to be “on.” You just need to be here.
🎃 Also: we have a twisted sense of humour you’ll probably enjoy.

🗓️ Join our Nov & Dec sessions: https://lu.ma/fedicollective

🌱 We build with care. We hold space with love.

Building vs. Complaining on the Social Web
Last week, saw someone post about what's wrong with the Fediverse vibe & decentralized social media for LGBT folx. I'm in the tech.lgbt server since 2023. It's not vibes as the issue, it's lack of action. Instead of pointing out the wrongs, do what's helpful.

Here's what I've learned from actually building community here
✅ We've created real IRL #ThirdSpace meetups in Vancouver directly after #FediCon2025 via #FediCollective & #PeerTube coop
✅ Connected BIPOC & LGBTQ+ creators across platforms
✅ Built supportive spaces for wellness & grief recovery
✅ Fostered genuine relationships that extend beyond screens

The vibe of any space is what we collectively create. Instead of waiting for someone else to fix the problems we see, be the change you want to see.

What are YOU building here? What communities are you nurturing? What connections are you fostering?

The future belongs to the builders, not the critics. HT @evan for yesterday's post that inspired me
