Hmm.
If we keep the billions of euros that social media generates on our continent every year
and circulate that revenue in our own thriving business ecosystem, then we can
- feed local jobs / boost FLOSS community
- create European Social Stack
- fix Public Interest Infrastructure

So #Vine is coming back, this time as #DiVine!
Does anyone know anyone who can get me an invite code? I want in!
The App is coming back with no #AI allowed, and will allow people to own their own content.For the geeks: it's built on the #OpenSocial protocol #Nostr, and apparently they're experimenting with integrating the #ATProtocol, future integration with #ActivityPub, the protocol behind #Mastodon and #Flipboard.

Congrats to our friends at AltStore on joining the social web! 🎉
@rileytestut and @shanegillio’s alternative iOS app store is integrating with the fediverse, letting apps shared through AltStore travel across platforms like Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky and become more discoverable across the open social web. https://mastodon.social/@altstore@fosstodon.org/116211352409119073

Hi @staff, I saw your post about the future of Mastodon and I first want to applaud y'all on making many forward-looking changes that will help grow #Mastodon ecosystem and the #Fediverse in positive ways.
I also saw that you're interested in new outside-the-box ideas for how Mastodon.Online might progress in its own direction.
Well, I have a few:

Open social media has a new fan: U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna. The congressman for California's 17th Congressional District appeared on Kara Swisher's "On" podcast last week and talked about Bluesky, @surf, and the importance of being able to construct your own social graph, take your followers where you go, and opt out of algorithms. Here's the full episode:

The other thing that the #Guppe incident showed us is that the #Fediverse seriously needs the #Nomadic protocol.
Let's say the Fediverse understands the protocol: just move to a new domain, inform all instances "this is the new domain, automatically re-subscribe please", done. Life goes on for regular people.
I am not saying it is that easy or that's how exactly it will work. But it could've been avoided. Right now, entire communities are gone, many who were relying on it are now disconnected. (Then again, I can argue that it's time to clean the membership since many accounts are also stagnant.)
So, when? #ActivityPub2 ?

This is interesting.
This may say something about certain people's interests in general.
And thus that there may be an audience for these in general.

Love this clip from @molly0xfff's Fediverse House talk:
"Imagine for a moment a web where communities can create their own spaces while still simultaneously and seamlessly interoperating with others. Think of it like a network of independent neighborhoods, each with its own character and rules, but with shared community spaces, art galleries and libraries.
"In this web, you control what you create and decide how it's shared.The algorithms that shape that experience, they're transparent and customizable. You can peek under the hood or tweak them to your liking or replace them entirely if they're not serving your needs. If you're sharing a space with a group of others and you disagree with how they run that space, you can leave, but you can take your work and your community with you.
"This isn't just a dream. This is already happening. Take Mastodon and the broader Fediverse, where millions of people are building communities that talk to each other across servers and platforms."

Fighting words from @molly0xfff's opening talk at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025:
“We're facing an existential threat. We need a web that serves people not profit, a web built on protocols, not platforms…It's being built right now by people like you in communities like this one.”
Thank you, developers and denizens of the open social web.🙏🏼

I am trying to list out all the conferences for Decentralized Social-Media (DeSo).
Including the Fediverse, of course. But also including Bluesky, Farcaster, Lens, Matrix, and Nostr. All if it.
And including conferences where the decentralized social-media part is only part of the conference.

Some people want to replace the name #Fediverse with #OpenSocial.
It is true that #ActivityPub was "touched" by the OpenSocial bureaucratic structure at the W3C, but —
If you would have said "OpenSocial" back in 2007 to 2010, then —
To many (probably most) people back then — 'OpenSocial' was these embeddable mini-applications, that were heavily inspired by what Facebook was like of that era.
Interestingly, the popular #FarcasterFrames (on #Farcaster ) are similar to OpenSocial gadgets.
