My FOSDEM 2025 social web lightning talk is out!
🎉 Elk: A Nimble Client for Mastodon - FOSDEM 2025 | https://ayos.blog/elk-fosdem-2025

This Saturday (Feb 1) I will give a talk about Elk at FOSDEM 2025 Social Web dev room!
There’s plenty to talk about in the Social Web space, and the line up looks really interesting! Particularly looking forward to hearing about Federation @ Forgejo 😄
Glad to be part of this. See you if you’re there!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if podcast fans could support their favorite shows without managing a bajillion subscriptions?
Wouldn’t it be awesome if federated social networks had a federated, global payment network of regulated financial institutions for micropayments?
Get a preview of what @benjaminbellamy is building into @Castopod and what @Interledger is building for the social web at the FOSDEM Social Web BOF on Sunday.

Good morning Fedi friends! Please don't mind me as I self-host yet another Fediverse software 🙈
I haven't been able to stop thinking about #Friendica since I watched @Tobias 's presentation at #SocialWebFosdem. It reminded of all the reasons why I fell in love with it last summer.
I stopped using it in Sep, as I experimented with other projects (hello #Sharkey) but I wanna try it again. It's so advanced in many ways.
⚡ #selhosting is my coping mechanism during these dystopian times ⚡
I got back home from the amazing #SocialWebFOSDEM and while I am drafting a “Build Your Own Timeline Algorithm” blog post to follow up on my talk I decided to keep the momentum going with a thread about it. You'll find my code at https://github.com/aittalam/byota and the talk slides here: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5601-build-your-own-timeline-algorithm/ (a video with the recording of the talk should be available soon too). Now let’s dig into #BYOTA!
For those who missed my closing talk at #FOSDEM on the #SocialWebFOSDEM track (which was part of the "After Hours" event), I've recorded a standalone version. Feel free to boost for reach - and also share with civic institutions and community leaders. #FediverseForFreedom
