Great day at #Fedicon yesterday. I met lots of new people from the #ActivityPub community. I've always thought that #XMPP and the #Fediverse are ideologically well-aligned, and that our developer communities should talk to each other more. In that regard, it was a big success.
FediCon 2026 website is now live, thanks to @reiver for organizing this!
Asking the #Fediverse: do you know if there's a #PeerTube channel that will publish the #Fedicon talks?
Live Stream URL for the afternoon of day 2 of FediCon.

4/ The next most important barrier to fediverse growth is the ever present elephant in the room: money. Most of us run instances on a shoe string for our own gratification and the benefit of others, but unfortunately that's not a recipe for growth. If you want to address growth you need to look at how to generate funding and that conversation ends up at sponsorship. How doe we navigate that responsibly? It's a question nobody asks and everyone should be if we're talking about growth. #Fedicon
