Introducing tags.pub
tags.pub is a new service under development by the Social Web Foundation. It is a global hashtag server -- it lets you follow a hashtag across the Fediverse. There's lots of information on the tags.pub home page, and I (Evan) did a talk about tags.pub at FOSDEM 2026. This blog post answers some basics about tags.pub. To follow a hashtag globally, search for a user with that name at tags.pub, like @example for the #example hashtag. Follow that account, and it will share all the […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/03/17/introducing-tags-pub/

Wundervoll :blobcatlove:
Das war der erste Computer, den ich in den 80er bekam (natürlich noch nicht so chic mit Lichteffekten), und dazu eine Datasette. Also ein kleiner Kasettenrecorder, und die Programme wurden auf Kassette gezogen.
Man mag es heute kaum glauben, aber der Öffentlich-Rechtliche Rundfunk (hier: SWF) über trug sogar Programme für den C64 via UKW. Da fiepste EA dann eine Weile im Radio. Man nahm das Gefiepse mit dem normalen Casettentecorder auf und steckte dann die Kassette in die Datasette😁

Three thoughts I want to share about the idea of #encryption on #DirectMessages in #ActivityPub.
The concept of microblogging, what this was all built for, is inherently public. You make an account on these sites because you want to be able to say things in public. While direct messages and followers only messages are extremely useful, and definitely worth having, they are something of a deviation from the central purpose here, and I worry that there is a false sense of privacy there. This may be worsened by adding encryption, as people may think encryption guarantees security. Only strong encryption run by the users themselves could guarantee security.
Conversely, there are people who use these services for journalism, government dissent, private transactions, and other things that require some security. Encryption would further protect these people in ways they might not be able to.

LIVE at c-base a #fluffy Fediverse conference
It's been going on for the last few years, let's look at a current example. Live at c-base is a #Fediverse event that highlights the need for composting the dogmatic #fluffy mess making to keep balance in our shared #openweb reboot. With our #fluffy crew talking about the shared reboot, on the surface it looks positive - friendly conversations, smiles, the right hashtags - but underneath it reveals a deeper problem: there is zero balance at these events. This is the third event I’ve seen […]https://hamishcampbell.com/live-at-c-base-a-fluffy-fediverse-conference/

Working full time on the Social Web
In January 2026, I will begin working full time in my role as Director at the Social Web Foundation. I am looking forward to the challenge of growing this young non-profit and fulfilling our mission to make a bigger, better Fediverse.
As a refresher: I have been working in the area of federated social networks since starting Identi.ca in 2008. Federated social networks are social platforms that let users on one platform connect to and interact with users on another platform. Linked up with open standard protocols, these platforms together form a Social Web that puts people first.
In 2018, I was a co-author of the ActivityPub standard for social network interoperability. I currently maintain the spec for the W3C and develop extensions for it. In 2024, I wrote ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web for O’Reilly Media. And I co-founded the Social Web Foundation to further encourage the use of ActivityPub in social networks.
For the last year, I’ve been working nights, lunchtimes and weekends on SWF while holding down my full-time role as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation. I love working at OEF; the organization build Open Source software to help cities fight climate change. I have felt very fulfilled in my work there, and I’ve made really strong friendships with the team. It’s been a very special place to work that has changed how I think teams can be.
But over the last year, SWF has had some really amazing opportunities, and in 2026 we’ll be making some big steps forward for the Social Web. I can’t keep doing both jobs, and I feel like, after 4 years at OEF, I’ve done what I can to build up that organization, and I am ready to start on this next one.
It will feel good to have my full attention focused on the Social Web. I’m looking forward to seeing my Open Source friends at FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels at the end of January where I’m helping to organize the Social Web track. I’m speaking at Princeton mid-February, and I’ll be in the Bay Area at the beginning of March. All this time, I’ll be working hard to get the next version of ActivityPub released and to push out several software projects to make the Social Web more fun and interesting.
Thanks to everyone who’s put time, effort and help into the SWF. Thanks to my coworkers at OEF for encouraging me on my next steps in my career. Thanks to my wife and family for tolerating yet another leap into the void.
I hope you have as exciting a New Year as I will.

@ben it would look like the #SWF if that functioned at all...
Or like #socialhub if that was not so blocking #geekproblem
Or to put it another way, we have shit to compost... adding to the pile may or may not help.

https://hamishcampbell.com/live-at-c-base-a-fluffy-fediverse-conference/ You likely need a shovel to work on composting. Or if you want to continue with this then clearer naming the events for the minority they invite and host would help to make less mess, a few #NGO groups have started to do this like #FediForum and the #SWF now have less imperialistic language, which is at least is a little less blinded.

CW: The Social Web Foundation website is a Fediverse group?! CW: Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta
The Social Web Foundation website is not only its own ActivityPub actor, but (streams) recognises and lists it as a group.

Mastodon, Meta and Threads
For people who focus on working with the #dotcons there are meany traps, and a lot of dead-ends. This is less of an issue for people fighting them, the problem here is "common sense" #blocking this second useful path, which is a much less lucrative and a thank less task. So we will continue to have more people on the first mess path. A post that grew from a toot seed, I wonder if Mastodon is to Meta what Firefox once was to Google a small but significant project that big corporations can […] -
Gnash allows you to play flash media in an open and secure way. Gnash supports mainly #SWF v7, but includes some v8 and v9 features. Gnash also supports #FLV and provides a plugin for several browsers, enabling the viewing of flash video if such a need arises.

How did this go down? Terribly.
#Flash #gamedev died and indies moved to #Unity, who shipped their own web plugin instead of #SWF export. When #plugins died Unity shipped ACTUAL #HTML5 SUPPORT like #Adobe never bothered to.
Adobe walked back their #revshare plans. This could have just gone down as a weird footnote, but instead they doubled down and cancelled their #AS4 and #FPNext plans out of corporate spite.
The lack of new Flash features basically guaranteed that HTML5 would kill them.

Not partnering with trillion-dollar, people-farming, human-rights-eroding, and democracy-destroying surveillance capitalists like Meta should be the lowest of low bars when it comes to organisations that purport to work on ethical technology but, clearly, even that bar is just too fucking high for some.

@humbird0 The hail mary for #Adobe was to publish the existing binary-tag based #SWF format under the "Open Screen Project". XML FLA files helped for interoperating with #Flash Pro / #AdobeAnimate but #FlashPlayer never took FLA files. Everything got compiled to SWF before you distributed it and that's what #Unity did.
-
#FlashPlayer had #Stage3D for a graphics API and #Alchemy to do cross-compilation. Adobe decided that you couldn't use both unless you paid up. They added #DRM to Flash to enforce this: #SWF files could not use both APIs unless they had an #Adobe cert in them identifying which revshare was being paid.
This was years after #SteveJobs wrote his famous open letter, BTW. Flash was STILL GOING STRONG despite not being on iPhone! And using Flash as a delivery mechanism for 3D games was a growth play.

I’ve just noticed that
a) the MP3 playing nowadays at https://zombo.com/ is 30 % larger than the MP3 stream embedded in the original flash animation (401 vs 310 KB), but of considerably lower quality (11 kHz instead of 22, and with heavily compressed audio) and
b) apparently the #InternetArchive doesn’t have the original file in their flash animations archive.Time to at least fix the latter, I guess…?

"We launched in Sep/2024 with a bold mission: to foster an #open, #decentralized, and #usercentric #socialweb. In just the few short months that remained in 2024, we made meaningful progress. Our participation at #W3C #TPAC and collaborations with major stakeholders like #Mastodon, #Ghost, and #Automattic have helped spark momentum for a healthier, more resilient online ecosystem.
Today we are proud to publish our 2024 #AnnualReport– the first of many."

Steps Forward in Long-form Text
Some quick news about the Long-form Text project at the Social Web Foundation. After the publication of the draft FEP b2b8 ("Long-form Text"), the Social Web Foundation has been working with implementers to get more support for the Article data type, representing multi-paragraph text on the Fediverse. One of the big pain points has been how subscribers to long-form text from platforms like WordPress, WriteFreely, Plume and Ghost.org see the text in their microblogging platforms like […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/05/01/steps-forward-in-long-form-text/

Conversations on Compost, Bridges, and the Future

The trouble is, that soil has been hollowed out, scattered, exhausted, and composted into the #dotconsOur current mission isn’t to “start from scratch,” but to rebuild bridges, spread compost, and replenish the soil. That’s why I keep coming back to this moment, the bridging of the #openweb back into #mainstream […]

What we call #NGO’s in the hashtag story. The Non-Profit Industrial Complex (NPIC) entanglement of non-profits, big businesses, governments, and social activism can, leads to mess we need to compost. While nonprofits can fund crucial tech and activist work, their reliance on corporate-linked foundations dilutes this, to keep receiving money, the is STRONG presser to softening critiques to align with business interests, ultimately limiting transformative change. This power dynamic mirrors critiques of the Prison-Industrial and Military-Industrial Complexes, highlighting how funding sources shape the scope and direction of activism and the #FOSS tech we build.
In the grassroots #DIY world, it’s critical to remain aware, and work to mediate these influences, ensuring that the needed systemic challenges are not compromised by external funding interests.
Let’s focus here on planting seeds of real change, beyond the comfortable narratives of the #NPIC that the #SWF has to compromise with, this is what we are doing on #socialhub

@Johannes Hentschel
Their interest is hegemony.
They won't be able to achieve that. For that, they'd all have to join forces. Instead, the big players would rather bash each other's heads in.
If Zuckerberg wanted to buy out the Fediverse through the SWF and assume full control over it, that'd go hard against what Flipboard wants, what Ghost wants, what Mastodon wants etc.
If you think Zuck and Gargron will join forces in EEE'ing the Fediverse, I have a bridge to sell you. If Zuck wants to EEE the Fediverse, this includes Mastodon which is why everyone panics. But Gargron himself wants to EEE the Fediverse, too. Mastodon users don't notice it, but everyone else does, from Misskey to (streams). And if he could, that'd include assuming indirect control over Threads by forcing Mastodon's proprietary, non-standard solutions upon it.
Write.as, maintainer of WriteFreely, is a supporter of the SWF, too. WriteFreely is basically one of the Fediverse's alternatives to Medium. Notice how Medium itself is a supporter. Medium won't try to build a monopoly and get rid of WriteFreely through the SWF if WriteFreely itself has a saying in this. And so does Automattic because Medium competes against WordPress.
Mastodon vs Write.as + Medium + Automattic = "The Fediverse is for microblogging, we won't support more than a tiny subset of HTML, and the rest of the Fediverse has to adjust" vs "Everything in the Fediverse must support full HTML rendering for Article-type objects."
And the SWF won't grant voting power according to how much money someone invests into it. Meta won't be able to out-vote everyone else by pumping a billion into the SWF. If that was possible, @Evan Prodromou, as the very founder of the SWF, would have no voting power at all.
Lastly, these are the supporters. The financial backers. Not the only members and even less the only members the SWF will ever have. It's just kind of difficult for a Fediverse project with nothing but one or two spare-time devs behind it to join the SWF.
