I'm thinking of proposing a /social web community track at @COSCUP 2026 (Aug 8–9, Taipei)—think FOSDEM's Social Web devroom, but in East Asia. Before I submit the CFP, I'd love to get a sense of what to call it. What do you think?

(Boosts appreciated!)

포코피아 요약 :

어느 날 아침 그레고르 메타몽이 편치 않은 꿈에서 깨어났을 때, 그는 자신이 침대 속에서 한 마리의 거대한 인간으로 변해 있다는 것을 깨달았다.

Every day I’m more convinced that the Fediverse’s slow mainstream adoption isn’t really about usability.

People say it’s because it’s hard to join, the terms are confusing, or the apps aren’t polished enough. Maybe a little. But honestly… look at the platforms people already use.

Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.

None of these platforms are exactly “easy.”

People stay because their friends are there. Because the big creators are there. Because that’s where the conversation already lives.

And, if we’re honest, because these platforms are engineered around a very effective reward loop: notifications, likes, infinite scroll. A dopamine machine. You learn the confusing terms and awkward interfaces because there’s a constant reward for doing so.

So yes, making the Fediverse easier to join absolutely helps.

But what would help even more is something simpler:
more mainstream, recognizable, official accounts showing up here.

That’s how networks grow.
People follow people not platforms.

Hey everyone,

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

결국 인정을 받는 결과물은, 남의 문제를 해결한 것도 아니고, 나의 문제를 해결한 것도 아닌,

나의 문제를 해결하려다보니, 정말 우연하게도 남의 문제까지 해결하는 효과를 덤으로 내는 결과물.

이게 가장 인생에서 가장 좋은 성과라고 평가받는 것 같음.

Mirajnameh [The Book of the Prophet’s Ascension], Herat, c. 1436, Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS Supplément Turc 190, f. 34v.


The illustration from folio 34v of the Mirajnameh depicts a monumental celestial being encountered by the Prophet Muhammad during his nocturnal journey. Characterized by multiple tiers of human heads emerging from a single set of shoulders, the figure represents an angel of immense proportions and linguistic capacity. According to the accompanying text, the angel possesses seventy heads, each equipped with seventy tongues, allowing it to praise the Divine in seventy thousand different languages simultaneously.

The angel's multi-colored wings and the stylized cloud-scrolls (t'chi) at the top of the frame are direct stylistic borrowings from Yuan and Ming Chinese iconography, integrated into a Persianate theological context. The deep lapis lazuli background serves not only as a representational 'sky' but as a symbolic space for the miraculous. The hierarchical importance of the angel is further signaled by the intricate, polychrome layering of its plumage and the gold-leaf detailing on its garments.



That being said, fuck all gods and fuck all nations. This world is dystopian and I feel like I am in a constant state of mourning trapped in a state of inbetweeness.

한국과 북한은 서로에게 쓰려고 냉전식 무기 생산체제를 유지해왔는데, 지금은 둘 다 그 생산량을 수출하는데 열심임.;; 특히 한국은 친미 진영의 물량 담당이 되고 있다.;

中俄除咗勸收手之外,仲有好多言論話再咁落去中期選舉共和黨會輸到甩褲,跟住民主黨就會彈劾總統。

我心諗,咁咪好囉?咁唔好咩?既然咁憎呢個管治班底就梗係由得佢錯落去啦,咁先有好戲睇架嘛,做咩要勸止佢三思呀?
