Tonight, my wife and I were watching some videos from the Glastonbury concert. Shortly after, I showed her the stunning photos shared by @Glastomichelle and we decided that as soon as we have the chance, we’ll visit those places. The Fediverse works better than a travel agency!

Hey #fediverse folks, if I was to throw some marketing resources at bringing accounts of good influences and great content creators to #mastodon who would you like to see here? Please comment below and share for wider reach, if @lisamelton could help share this that would make my day.

If you’re at all interested in the future of how people could discover, enjoy and pay for great content in the #fediverse and the broader web, this episode of #DotSocial is for you.

Here @johnonolan and I go deep on the product, technical and business model mechanics that will ultimately support a more sustainable, social web thanks to Ghost’s upcoming full integration of #ActivityPub.

The Theological Hall in Strahov Monastery library in Prague is one of the best historic places I've ever visited. The books, the globes, the intricate architecture, all of it a feast to the intellect. And our intellect could do with some inspiration...

I'm celebrating by being slowly killed by #capitalism and #facism

What are you doing this #DisabilityPride Month?

Let me know, tell me all your secrets to #MutualAid and #SupportDisabledArtists

Yup... I'm a pissy bitch

"Flipboard has worked with local papers and websites since its inception. Now, as part of the gradual federation of our platform, we’re bringing some of those publications to the fediverse." Oh hell yes. #Fediverse https://werd.io/2024/flipboard-brings-local-news-to-the-fediverse

I'm working on a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated that aims to show what interoperability looks like on the #Fediverse.

As I said before, it feels like ✨ magic ✨

I logged in @phanpy for the first time using my @pixelfed credentials and I used its incredible catch-up feature to see posts I had missed. Mind = blown 🤯 😍

Blog post coming by the end of the week, in the meantime you can read previous issues and subscribe here: https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/fediverse/#post-list

Took a first look at #NeoDB (neodb-social, to be precise), a platform to track or review media you consume - books, games, movies, podcasts... It's interesting. But I'm also worried that the data will be a total mess - how does NeoDB ensure that a translation of a book that I want to add is linked to its original or other editions/translations? Searching for a book I get multiple results of various editions of the same work, crowding the search result. 1/3

As we approach the U.S. election, misinformation and abuse are on the rise and more people are fleeing X in search of something safer and more trustworthy. This is an incredible opportunity for the #fediverse but only if we are able to maintain and expand the effectiveness of our #moderation as we scale.

In this latest episode of Dot Social I go deep with two well known trust and safety experts who are advancing decentralized moderation for the fediverse: @samlai.bsky.social and @jaz. We discuss strengths and weaknesses today as well as what the future could hold.

Check out the conversation on our PeerTube instance or wherever you get your podcasts.

Did you know we run a community for Fediverse moderators?

It was inspired by our Moderator Needs Assessment, especially this powerful quote from one moderator;

“together we are stronger."

We couldn’t agree more, which is why we launched IFTAS Connect, a new community of practice designed specifically for Fediverse moderators.

Local news matters, now more than ever. So a few weeks ago, we asked you for your thoughts on federating local papers in the USA — where you're located, and the specific publications you'd like to see. You responded, with ideas, suggestions, and an education on American geography. Now, we've federated 64 publications. Here's a blogpost with more details, plus a spreadsheet with a list of all the federated profiles, which include everyone from @AlaskaBeacon to @SunSentinel. If you spy a profile you like, search for it in the fediverse and you should see all its Magazines (topical feeds). Follow the profile to see everything in your feed, or just Magazines if you're only interested in, for example, South Florida Sports (@south-florida-sports-SunSentinel) or Texas Barbecue (@texas-bbq-TexasMonthly). If we've missed something or you have a suggestion for us, just let us know in the comments. Follow our @FlipboardMagazines account for regular updates on federated Magazines.

I updated my #MastodonForHarris profile banner. Feel free to use it yourself!

Design note: Colors and typography deliberately do *not quite* match that of the campaign. It’s in between the campaign’s visual language and also Mastodon’s. It’s intentionally a bit off… much like the #fediverse itself. 😁

Thanks to @heidilifeldman
for inspiring this and organizing the massively successful fundraising.

Let’s go, #Harris2024!

I wrote about @Flipboard's next major step in becoming a part of the #Fediverse - letting users follow anyone on Mastodon, PixelFed, or any other federated service (including federated Threads accounts!) *without* needing to federate!

I think this is a really smart way of letting folks dip their toes in the open social web without needing to commit to it 👏🏼

Flipboard is so close 🤏🏼 to fully federating, and I'm so excited!

Creators no longer have to depend on “walled garden” platforms that change algorithms on a whim and own the audience. Digital sovereignty is the ultimate influencer status. Help our proposed fireside chat with @molly0xfff become a reality at SXSW '25! Community votes are a powerful signal. TYIA 🙏🏼
