Since it’s basically in my backyard, I’ll be attending the #FediverseHouse put on by @Flipboard and @surf in Austin next weekend.
Who else will be there? Looking forward to it!

We’ve got a great conversation lined up for Monday morning at the #FediverseHouse. Mastodon’s @andypiper, Bluesky’s Rose Wang, and The Onion’s Leila Brillson discuss building, growing and sustaining meaningful communities in 2025. (Hint: it involves real human interaction on the social web.) RSVP: https://lu.ma/dvfp9lri #SXSW #sxsw2025 #austin #community
@newyorktimes's veteran tech reporter @Markoff interviewed some of #TeamFediverse including @Gargron, @reckless1280 and our CEO @mike for a feature on the rise of decentralized social media. “It goes back to the original principles where the internet started out as decentralized,” Eugen Rochko told Markoff. Here's the full story [may be paywalled].
We're so excited to develop these conversations further at SXSW this weekend — check out the itinerary and sign up to join us at #FediverseHouse at the second link.

Fediverse House continues this afternoon with a developer meetup. And there are lots of developers here! It’s been fun getting to meet them in person.
Very cool to see Leila Brillson (CMO of The Onion), Rose Wang (COO of Bluesky) and @andypiper, chatting this morning at #FediverseHouse about building communities on the social web…
Surf is a social web browser - you can create feeds based on any interest desired - you are the curator! Rss feeds - YouTube - mastodon - Bluesky content all available to add to your feed. Also I love the graphic design.
@mike demonstrates the app.
One final post about #FediverseHouse before I close out.
Keen observers on mastodon.social may have noticed I jumped around and used different client apps throughout the event.
Special thanks to all the app developers out there making the fediverse fun!

“The Web needs a do-over” says @mike opening his conversation with @pluralistic #FediverseHouse

It’s the waning hours of #FediverseHouse. This is probably the best time I’ve had in years and years. Some hilarious, beautiful, brilliant people, I’m sad that it’s almost over, I could spend all my free time hanging out with y’all.
Wow, @pluralistic is on fire talking through enshittification - “platforms aren’t nice to you because you pay, they’re nice to you because they’re afraid of you.” #FediverseHouse
Just closed the #fediversehouse at #sxsw after two amazing days. Loved being IRL with so many people who are building the open social web together. Let’s do it again next year!
Kinda weird hearing about Threads devs talking at Fediverse House considering that they promised full federation by the end of 2024 and we're almost through the first quarter of 2025 and we don't seem any closer to that promise.
Those who were there, did they give an update on when they plan on allowing replies and such?
Feels like they're dropping the ball big time.
Good morning!!!
While everyone in the house is asleep, I’m delighted to finally catch @pluralistic ‘s brilliant conversation with @mike at SXSW’s #FediverseHouse (from early March) https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse/cory-doctorow/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub (via @mia)
Watch @mike give a live demo of Surf at SXSW. Learn what Surf is for, how it brings together content and communities across platforms, and how to make your own custom feed. Audience questions at the end are also 👌.

In this episode of the DotSocial podcast, recorded at the #FediverseHouse at SXSW, Bluesky CTO @pfrazee.com strapped on his butterfly wings to explain to @mike how the company is rethinking the internet’s architecture to create a more flexible, user-centric web.

Thanks to the open web, it’s more viable than ever for creators to take back ownership and control of their livelihoods. @molly0xfff joined Flipboard CEO @mike at SXSW 2025 to talk about building an ethical, creator-first internet. That fireside chat is now available as a Dot Social episode. Listen in full!
