As we close in on the new year, will be doing a 2026 predictions of the #OpenSocialWeb.

Here was my predictions for this for 2025...Think i got maybe 20-30 % right based on a glance at it. And maybe 15 percent will have to do some research to see if I got close. Rest WAY wrong. https://www.timothychambers.net/2024/12/24/predictions-for-the-open-social.html

Will look over and evaluate it.

This is why blogging and the #indieweb is cool. To not loose things like this into the social web slipstream and see how such things changed over time.

Predictions for the Open Social Web 2025

2025 Open Social Web Predictions I just finished looking over my 2024 predictions, and now onto 2025. I try to make these as quantifiable, verifiable and crisp as I can. OK - here goes - in no particular order: ▶️ The ActivityPub based Fediverse as measured by FediDB will grow by 1 million users in 2025 crossing over 12 million users. The BlueSky registered userbase will grow from its current number of 25 million registered users to over 50 million.
