One year ago today, I wrote "Fediverse for Freedom", a blog post about why public institutions must own their own social identities and content online. It spawned another post, a talk at FOSDEM, and stickers! I'll be talking more about these topics at #FrOSCon on Sunday. #FediverseForFreedom

We were delighted that @andypiper from the Mastodon team was the featured keynote speaker on day 2 of #FrOSCon this year.
Andy spoke about the importance of the #Fediverse and of decentralisation in order to preserve digital freedom and sovereignty.

It was a big weekend for the Mastodon team at #FrOSCon in Germany.
If you're curious what we've been working on and what's coming up, as well as updates across the #Fediverse more broadly, @dave provided an update in his talk, "Taking a Fresh Look at the Fediverse".
Fun fact: David was also one of the founding organisers of FrOSCon!

My #FediforumFriday update this week is that I've been tinkering around at the MVP end of the fediverse, trying out projects like #snac (and also, honk). I really need to write some of these experiences down somewhere! Also, preparing for my talk at #FrOSCON next weekend.
What are you looking at that's interesting and #fediverse-related right now?
