I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.

It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.

I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:

It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.

Started the first iteration of #snac (#snac2) customizing to match #manpageblog. It took a bite more time than initially expected but @grunfink indeed made some great and clever ideas when creating snac. The function for attributes and tags in his C functions are a great idea and simplify it. I guess, I simply had added them statically... However, a preview is available right here (as said, still not perfect, more to be done soon):

What do you ( #fediverse ) think of a social networking done on (via) the #blockchain ?
Are there working proof of concept implementations?

Since @silverpill already working on PKI\cryptography for fediverse, blockchain seems like a next evolutionary step for social networking, since it's just distributed (cryptographic) database.

I'm sorry that I lack resources & haven't put enough effort researching #crypto, #freenet , #hyphanet . But it seems to me kinda on topic, So I want to hear from people.
Maybe I want to hear from people like @ArneBab & @silverpill
I don't know here anyone else who work on #p2p social networking.

I'm a bit confused about some of the discourse around Bluesky having to comply with Mississippi laws.

Does it really matter to what degree they're "truly" decentralized?

Forums and fediverse servers have shut down/geo-blocked people in UK in response to UK's Online Safety Act.

https://onlinesafetyact.co.uk/in_memoriam/

I figured it's mostly fediverse servers being too small that helps them avoid having to comply. Anyone talking about how this affects mastodon.social?

What one person wants from an alternative to a Twitter:

• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies

Pleased to announce that my book, Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media, is now available online, and will be out in print in a couple weeks!
https://moveslowlybuildbridges.com
That site has more stuff, too -- links to related articles, some notes about how I researched it, and a contact form in case you want to talk about the fediverse with me! (I'd be happy to chat with journalists about it!)

Excited to share some great news from the #creative community! Oeee Cafe, a fantastic oekaki #drawing platform, just added #ActivityPub support today. This means all the amazing artwork being created there can now be shared and discovered across the #fediverse, which is such a wonderful step toward connecting creative communities.

Big shoutout to my friend @jihyeok for building this platform and bringing it to the fediverse. It's always inspiring to see developers creating spaces for artists and then opening them up to the broader federated community. If you're into digital art or just appreciate seeing creative work, definitely worth checking out what people are sharing from Oeee Cafe on your timeline now. You can find me there at @hongminhee if you want to connect!

Did you know?
If you're only interested in music from a specific genre or country, you can look for all the posts tagged accordingly that I published since last year.

For example:
- Afrobeat https://indieweb.social/@blogamf/tagged/afrobeat
- Cameroon https://indieweb.social/@blogamf/tagged/cameroon

And if you add ".rss" at the end, you get access to a RSS version of these posts for your favorite reader like this https://indieweb.social/@blogamf/tagged/afrobeat.rss

The thank you again without CW:

Thanks to everyone in the #fediverse already having the possibility of proper selfexpression without an Algorithm making money off of my mental Health and such nice supportive people that like reading our ramble.

Even though it was only a few days it is already so awesome!!!!

It was such a good decision committing to the Fediverse and making an own server
not only for the Privacy but also taking distance from Cooperate BS and expressing myself

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?

I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.

Anything else?

A friendly reminder that the #Fediverse is run by volenteers, if you like to support the server you are on check in with your admin or check the /about page that could have some more info❤️

It means the world

"None of the large fediverse servers have so far complied, neither with the UK’s Online Safety Act, nor with this new Mississippi regulation. I am very much not a laywer, but neither laws have clear exceptions that would apply to Mastodon servers as far as I can tell."

This skipped my timeline somehow - FediForum recordings from the Nov 2025 event at SFSCon.

#Fediverse #FediForum

If we fixed the diversity problem on #Mastodon, why aren't we incorporating these folks in the concentrations of power that exist in the #fediverse? Or do these power structures not exist either?

Gibt es Mastodon-Instanzen, die sich besonders gut für gemeinnützige Organisationen eignen?

Wo können Vereine, Kultur- und Bildungseinrichtungen unterschlüpfen, wenn sie keine eigene Instanz betreiben können oder wollen?

Es ist ja wenig transparent, wer hinter einer Instanz steht, wie verlässlich sie gewartet und moderiert wird.

Hat jemand Tipps?
