We're excited to welcome Adam to the team in a fractional role as our Head of US Partnerships 🎉 Adam has a vast knowledge of the American news landscape and has experience building and strategising products which help newsrooms succeed. We're looking forward to seeing what he can do to bring news publishers across the pond to online spaces dedicated to them and their audience 🗞️ #USNews #Newsmast #SocialWeb #Fediverse

[On the social web, like, the Fediverse,] ‘We desperately need more enthusiasts across the spectrum of interests. History dorks, art dorks, film, photography, music, sound design. We need you here, because we can’t find your stuff when you’re on Instagram, and there’s not enough of you on the Social Web yet for us to get our fill.’ Yeah. This is a really good and beautiful article that strikes several chords in my heart and mind. It’s written by @riverpunk@defcon.socialhttps://riverseeber.net/blog/post/the-internet-was-supposed-to-be-a-community/ #SocialWeb #SocialMedia #Arts #Music #Film #Photography

My advice to new activitypub devs:

• be bold: ship what big tech won't.
• consent first: opt in, never opt out.
• keep evolving: your v1 federation code will be wrong, and that's fine.
• federate the future: interop over lock in, every time.

8 years in and I still come back to these.

Your friends don't care about instances. They care about joining in 5 seconds. On Loops for iOS it's one tap with Sign in with Apple. No server to pick, no email, no password, nothing to verify. It. Just. Works. Federation stays invisible until you go looking for it. This is how #SocialWeb platforms go mainstream. #Loops #LoopsDev

We published two new resources on our Help Centre today. To bring you more transparency about how our moderation team makes decisions, actions they might take against rule-violating behaviour, and the pathways available to you for appealing our decisions: https://help.joinmastodon.org/article/20-moderation-decisions-and-appeals Plus, learn how to use one of our newest features, Collections, and help people across the #fediverse find new accounts to follow: https://help.joinmastodon.org/article/19-creating-a-collection #Mastodon #SocialWeb #Collections

We're excited to share the results from Mastodon's first #DiscoveryWeek! In case you missed it, earlier this year our Head of Design @imanijoy@mastodon.social arranged a week of workshops and surveys to get to know you, learn about your needs and wants, and discover how you're using (and want to use) Mastodon. This week was tremendously helpful for us, and we're grateful to everyone who participated. Here's what we learned: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/discovery-week-2026-what-we-learned-and-what-were-doing-next/ #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialWeb #OpenSocial

@dansup@mastodon.social A good feeling, hopefully? #ActivityPub #SocialWeb #Fediverse #AtProto

It's a strange feeling, building something with no one to answer to but the people using it. No walls to raise. No data to harvest. No quarter to hit. Just a network of communities that actually belong to the people in them. #ActivityPub #SocialWeb #Fediverse #AtProto

De laatste tijd pakken de grote computer giganten steeds meer politieke invloed en macht. Daarbij verbruiken zij onze schaarse middelen (water, elektriciteit, grond) door Nederland vol te plempen met enorme datacenters. Alleen daarom al wordt het steeds noodzakelijker over te stappen op vrije software zoals Linux en onafhankelijke Sociale Media in de #fediverse zoals Mastodon. Jouw Linux Desktop en de Fediverse maken geen gebruik van deze datacenters! Daarom is er zaterdag 1 augustus vanaf 13:00 uur weer de maandelijkse #LinuxInloop van #Linux020 op het WG-terrein in #Amsterdam. Gratis advies en actieve hulp bij het installeren van Linux op jouw laptop of PC, of bij het onderhoud daarvan. Ook assisteren wij jou bij de overgang van #BigTech naar het #SocialWeb op de Fediverse . WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc, hebben mooie eerlijke alternatieven die je niet profileren, jouw berichten niet opslaan in datacenters en advertenties opdringen. Wil jij jouw oude computer toch kwijt, doneer hem dan aan ons. Wij installeren dan Linux en zoeken een goede nieuwe bestemming. In samenwerking met #LaptopRevive . In het Noppes kantoor, WG-terrein, Ketelhuisplein 41 in Amsterdam. Zie #^https://linux020.nl/l20/PLCal/LinuxEnPrivacyInloopInAugustus LaptopRevive  #^https://www.laptoprevive.nl/

RE: https://mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/116999079831534200 Have you taken the @iftas@mastodon.iftas.org Social Web Operations Survey yet? 🧐 There's only one day left! #Fediverse #socialWeb #MastoAdmin

Only 2 days left to share your voice in our annual #Fediverse survey! If you run, manage, or moderate a #SocialWeb service, your anonymised and aggregated feedback goes directly to lawmakers and regulators around the world. If they don’t know our concerns, they can’t write laws that protect our mission. Help shape the policies that impact us. Take 5 minutes to share your experience: ➡️ https://tally.so/r/81MW6k

The thing about the fediverse is that when one of us wins, we all win. I couldn't be more proud to work alongside so many talented people who share the same belief: together we're stronger, and there's so much more we can build. The corporate platforms had a decade and billions of dollars on us. They still can't build the one thing we did: a network nobody owns, nobody can sell, and nobody can take away. A social home for the people. By the people. ❤️ #ActivityPub #Fediverse #SocialWeb

The reason corporate platforms and algos are winning is because we do not boost enough. Lots of creators now know those places suck, but they get attention there. It's a trade-off. imo they'd give up a lot of that attention if it wasn't like 1/10th of the time that you liked something, you shared it publicly. But instead let's say half. C'mon people. Boost long videos, podcasts and articles. Even links to books and movies. Not just pics and short posts and clips. #SocialWeb #DemocracyOfReach

We're building digital spaces for journalists, activists, scientists and local groups around the world 🧱 Social media is no longer about reaching as far as you can, it's about developing something deeper. More meaningful. Community. The Social Web is the perfect fit. #SocialWeb #DigitalCommunity

It's time for our first Server Spotlight! We want to help people find their communities across the #fediverse so we're featuring servers here on this account. First up: The Mended Drum, a home for fans of all things Sir Terry Pratchett. It is said that if you stay on The Mended Drum long enough, you'll meet every hero on the server: https://mendeddrum.org/directory (keep an eye on your horse, though 😉) #FeaturedServer #CommunitySpotlight #Mastodon #SocialWeb #GNUTerryPratchett

Am Paper der neu gestarteten »Open #SocialWeb Alliance« #OSWA mag ich sehr, dass #Digitalisierung & #Nachhaltigkeit zusammen gedacht werden: 🟢 #Energie- & #Ressourcenverbrauch … regelmäßig messen & veröffentlichen #Permacomputing 🟢 #Datenminimierung verankern #Datenschutz #TeamDatenschutz 🟢 ökologische Folgekosten berüchsichtigen #Klimawandel ➡️ Das gibt es bisher (fast) nie bei #SocialMedia. 🤔 Wäre dabei auch #Müllfluencing mitgedacht? https://www.campact.de/blog/2022/11/muellfluencing-abfallfabriken-im-internet/ 👉 https://osw-alliance.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/PolicyPaper_digital.pdf
