The tension that’s pushed back into the #Fediverse the last few years https://hamishcampbell.com/the-real-tension-thats-pushed-back-into-the-fediverse-the-last-few-years/ Where this matters is simple – If we don’t consciously build flows, commons, and #4opens practices into the infrastructure and culture, the same enclosure dynamics will re-emerge – just more politely.

Organizers Log:
I got some pricing information from SFU (SImon Fraser University) about possibly using one of their locations for FediCon 2026.
Organizers Log:
The person who I talked to at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026 suggested I talk to someone else at SFU about a location for FediCon 2026.
I did. They responded.

We build Bridgy, not walls 🌉
@anewsocial @dansup Bridges are kewl, but #BlueSky is not #ActivityPub, #Threads is #META, and #Bernie is correct when he says #Billionaires shouldn’t exist. I’m just sayin’ I prefer my #Fediverse free & #opensource & not managed by either #Crypto execs or #techbro billionaires. But maybe that’s just me.
It does not need to be that way. I am quite happy after all (after being initially frustrated) by how #ATProto has disrupted things, and opened the eyes of devs in the #ActivityPub ecosystem that we must act or lose out (stay niche, which may be fine too) to the Atmoshpere and how it enables devs to focus on service and product delivery instead of low-level wire plumbing and continuous breakages.
ATProto also shows the way that we can now follow on the #fediverse to catch up again: cocreate a similar robust basis for people to build on. #Bluesky had the advantage of a greenfield start and dedicated team unburdened by past decisions. And they build this whole Lexicon system and ways to introspect functionality.
We can do that too, solve the #LinkedData conundrum, and create an extensibility mechanism that allows devs to focus on service modeling. The more introspection this mechanism allows for, the less design-by-consensus is required, easing expansion to new domains.
I'm sure this has been asked in the wider #fediverse but my search-foo isn't that great here.
My WoW guild needs to get off #discord and I'm looking at Teamspeak for one aspect, but it's time to bring back a good Forum.
Is phpBB still a solid solution? Is there anything else out there that is better/modern? #BraingBackForums #forumsoftware #discordmigration
I'm always surprised that other social media platforms need algorithms to get you addicted to them.
I'm addicted to Mastodon with no algorithm needed. Well done you weird, lovely, smart folks!

Hey everyone,
@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• lobnafamily🕊️🫒 (@lobnafamily)
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.
💕

The difference between the #fediverse and big tech social media during the last week:
On #mastodon and #loops people told me that they liked my work and wished me a lovely day.
On Instagram people told me that I'm a sick piece of meat and I should hang myself.
I know my tribe.
