> I am working on @fedipay for the exact reasons of avoiding stripe and multiple subscriptionsGreat stuff. I assume you've followed the Kalashnikov Principle and looked into the history of previous efforts, like SubClub?

CW: letter to promote the fedi / shout-out for transit/ cycling/ walking/ neighbourhood accounts
@unchartedworlds @futurebird
Cool. I'll hold off on that, then.The travel / transit account I follow is really only @notjustbikes
For topic-specific things I like following hashtags since I then get to see people that I would not normally pick up.
I can recommend the hashtags: #CrossBorderRail
#BikeTooter
#WalkableCities
#LowCar - actually, rather use #CarFree -
@futurebird @dr2chase @craiglambie42
For more information on #SEPA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Euro_Payments_AreaThere are currently plans to actually create a "digital €" system, that would allow EU citizens to have a bank account at the European Central Bank. And transfer money between such accounts for free.
https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/digital_euro/features/html/index.en.htmlI think this would go a great way to wrestle back control from banks and their rent seeking. (With the additional bonus of being "real money", and not just "book money".)

I have been wondering about #B2C #businesses on the #fediverse... Should they start their own server? Or join servers relevant to their customers? Values? Eg a vegan food co could join #veganism.social
I think journalists should join their own servers, verified masthead media should have their own servers... -
So annoying when you walk 10 minutes to a coffee shop to find it is actually closed. Doesn't look like it even opened today. Poor form #google #googlemaps #googlebusinessprofile #hours #closedsign #frustrated #disappointed

# Democracy by the people, for the people — not politics as usual

## The Problem We Can't IgnoreAustralian democracy faces a crisis of legitimacy. Trust in politicians sits at historic lows. Permanent campaigning rewards short-term thinking. Major parties remain captured by vested interests. And everyday Australians—the people who live with the consequences—are sidelined from decisions about their future.

The "Teal" and Community Independents movement proved that Australians hunger for something better: integrity, evidence-based policy, genuine independence, and community voice. But electing independent representatives is only the first step.
**What if we could go further?**

I wrote this a couple of months ago. But I am starting to share it more publicly - so I thought I should post about it here and publish it around the place - #POSSE style

Quick reality check for local businesses 👇
If your setup relies on more than 3 international tools… (Usually US)
you’re not in control — you’re renting your business.Most people don’t realise how exposed they are until something breaks.
I help businesses in Glen Eira + Port Phillip simplify, localise, and actually own their tech.
Want a quick audit? DM me “CHECK”.

Every time you click “forgot password”…
that’s a warning sign.It usually means:
• No system
• No ownership
• No recovery planThat’s exactly what scammers rely on.
A proper local setup removes this chaos completely.
Simple > clever. Always.

Digital sovereignty isn't just about software; it’s about the physical tools we use. Why buy a "disposable" laptop from a global chain when you can source, repair, and upgrade locally?
Reducing the "international upgrade cycle" is better for your wallet and the planet. Let’s keep our hardware running longer with local expertise.

I’m launching a new movement in Melbourne: Go Local, Go People. Tech shouldn't be a cold, international utility. It should be a local craft supported by people you can actually meet for a coffee. I’m helping businesses in our community reduce their reliance on big tech and move toward sovereign, open-source solutions. Who’s with me?

This past weekend I participated in the Dept of #Planning #CRG for #Elsternwick.
That means I was randomly selected to representat my community and be the voice of reason giving advice to the department on their development plans.
It was super fun actually. Loved being a part of the #community and a #citizen.
