At the first FediMTL conference, @evanpro, Cory Doctorow, @plarosecadieux, @dustyweb, and others spoke about the promises and challenges of a decentralized "social web" that's separate from mainstream social media platforms.

The Fediverse is crucial to Europe's digital sovereignty, and Open Source software is essential to the Fediverse. The @socialwebfdn, @NewsmastApp , Save Social, SABOA, and Fedivariety provide feedback on Europe's Open Source policy.

At #WCEH we welcomed a student from @Carleton_U's @JSchool_CU. I believe she may have intereviewed @davewiner and @evanpro, but she also wrote a piece on @photomatt's talk that was published in the @therepositorywp.

Had a nice recharge after #WCEH, time to dive back in! My list:
✅ Improving my block validation tools (thanks @ryanwelcher)
🌐 Exploring WordLand and the fediverse (thanks to @davewiner & @evanpro)
💡 …and a few more ideas brewing (thanks brain power).
Let’s go. 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce that @evanpro will be joining us as a keynote speaker at #WordCampCanada this October in Ottawa! Like he says about the #Fediverse, #WordPress isn't just software, "It's about connecting communities and people." #WCEH canada.wordcamp.org/2025/wce…

If you’re looking for a new place to land when leaving Twitter, then obviously you can go to BlueSky, but you should also consider the Mastodon-compatible Fediverse. We did a write up on what the Fediverse is here: socialwebfoundation.org/what…

If you're wondering about where to spend your social media time, try out the Fediverse.
It's a coalition of social apps that are connected through open protocols. No matter which app you use, you get to stay connected to your friends on the others.
