today is day one of #Fediforum online, so expect a lot of #Fedinews about lots of things...

Mind-blowing fact from @ben during #fediforum : in an fundraising experiment, he was able to raise more donations for #Propublica on the Fediverse than on any other social channel. 🤯
The new #Mastodon team is starting to hit its stride! We're about to ship Quote Posts in 4.5 and our next release (4.6) will have (Starter)Packs (name tdb). It's fun to see our momentum building!
We reviewed the design today at #FediForum and the FEP is available for public feedback.

Another book mentioned during FediForum:
"Open Social Cookbook"
(I am not sure who the author is though.)

I joined the "LinkedOut" session today, put on by @BjornW , on day 2 of FediForum.
The session was about "building a decentralized, federated,
user-friendly, sustainable professional network application
supporting the needs of professionals, companies and recruiters".
It was difficult choice to make (to go to this session and not others) as there were many other interesting sessions at the same time!
BUT —
#fediforum is over. All went well. Good discussions, great keynote, amazing demos. Attendees seem to be happy, or so they said.
Time for a nap.
I declare I have earned it! Ha!
