I joined the Fediverse last month to escape big tech, and wow… I was NOT ready for how awesome this community is.

Hey, I’m Leo! I’m a world citizen from Brazil and I love meeting people from everywhere, especially those who are deeply obsessed with super specific things, from Furbies to geopolitics.

I usually toot in English or Portuguese, but we can also be Spanish or French pen pals. Feel free to DM me anytime!

Every time I see someone saying “Oh no, I missed the CFP deadline”, I can’t help thinking about all those features in Python or Django that were deprecated for years… and then someone is shocked when they finally get removed. 🫠

Weeks of announcements. Years of warnings. Deprecation messages in the logs. And still: surprise. 😅

Maybe warnings and deadlines only become real the day after they expire. 🪄

On the fediverse we also see a lot of accusations of Bluesky being owned by Jack Dorsey, and this isn't true. My understanding is that Jay performed an impressive amount of negotiation to allow Bluesky to receive funding independently.

These days Jack Dorsey is instead focusing on Nostr, which I can only describe as "a sequel to Secure Scuttlebutt with extremely bad vibes where bitcoin people talk about bitcoin"

will be at Summit 2026 in , ! from March 9 to 10. - A premiere gathering that connects leaders and more across !

FOSS for All will be running a community and introduce our activities to visitors. Attending FOSSASIA Summit in Bangkok? Don't forget to visit our booth and say hello! Visit summit.fossasia.org to learn more about the event.

@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubleshannah aubry explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.

Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

Hi all - just wanted to introduce squeak.solarcene.community

I've been working on a new project recently to build a web server inspired by compost.party

If you would like some free hosting for a static website perhaps to document your projects or host your digital then you are very welcome. The server has vibes as each user gets a public_html folder. You'll get ssh access and the server has installed to help make nice static websites. The goal will be to have 100% uptime, due to its very low power consumption it does not require the power saving I use for the solarcene.community mastodon server.

Probably the key thing is that a project should have a mascot and in this case the server is called Squeak and it's an awesome bat! Squeak was designed by @alipunk𝒜𝓁𝒾⋆ (check out her website for more of her work).

Just get in touch if you would like to have a small website!



Squeak the bat - cartoon bat with sunglasses and a cool visor, has a small old school walkman and headphones. Flying on a sunset background.Squeak the bat sleeping upside down in the solarpunk style server room. There are a few devices on a shelf, Squeak's sunglasses and visor as well. A string of lights hand down with a few plans. In the background of the window is a solar panel and further in the distance is a wind turbine.

I'm an independent reporter based in and heading into my final year of law school next year. After becoming more interested in and , I also (impulsively) enrolled in a computer science minor to learn more.

I've covered topics including refugee and immigration policy, bushfire management, animal rights, weapons companies' involvement in Australia's education system, and the incoming social media age ban.

My commitment to journalism stems from a conviction that information should be free, and my quest to understand technology better has given me hope that we can seize the means of communication and create a better news and information ecosystem.

People who like growing things tend to be the least "zero sum" people I've ever met. I meet activists who act like sharing their time will inevitably lead to their death, but gardeners are always sharing.

We give each other seed, baby plants, cuttings, vegetables, greens, eggs - sometimes even before we know each other. If I say to someone "I wish I could grow tomatoes better" they'll jump in and offer last generation's regionally adapted seed without hesitation.

Because perhaps there's something to the experience of planting a bean and watching it turn into hundreds of beans, all from one bean. Or a single squash seed and seeing it produce dozens of squash and thousands of seeds. Or watching an enormous tree grow from a tiny seed and then a little sprout, and bring owls back where there weren't any before. And realizing that sharing only spreads the abundance, and never takes it away. If my tomatoes grow better, and hers fail, she knows I'll probably offer her that even better performing seed right back, and some extra tomatoes.

One of our friends on the border said he realized capitalism is bullshit the first time he grew tepary beans and watched a single bean turn into pounds of food and plenty of seed to save for next time. Why would anyone control your access to food when it's just that simple?

And the homesteading folks seem to like to make it seem really difficult, but they'll plant 10 acres to grain instead of oak trees and lament having to rent a harvester combine instead of having food literally fall out of the trees (and have a forest of other food and habitat for game, to boot), which is a failure of planning rather than the reality of what growing food is actually like.

If you're interested in learning how you can more deeply participate in or support our mission of building community sovereignty and stewarding abused land, you can find options for in-person or financial participation on our website:

rancholibertad.com/participate

We just opened our Supporter tier, and look forward to offering more opportunities to support locally and from afar in August. Those who subscribe at the Supporter tier receive a twice yearly gift basket of goodies from the Ranch (the first will be sent in December) as well as access to participate in quarterly Q&A posts.

You will also know (perhaps most importantly) that you are tangibly supporting projects that enable us to better serve residents (now and in the future), guests seeking sanctuary, and the land. Projects such as tree planting, renewable energy infrastructure, sustainable building, animal stewardship, sustainable and place-sensible food production, and more.

We are so grateful to you for your interest and collaboration ✨

Headline: .NET과 픽셀 아트의 만남, Bad Apple!! 챌린지 🍎

"이 기기에서 Doom이 돌아가나요?"만큼이나 개발자들의 도전 정신을 자극하는 질문이 있죠. 바로 "Bad Apple!! 영상을 재생할 수 있는가?"입니다.

우리 .NET 커뮤니티의 든든한 운영진인 송영재 님과 이상준 님이 협력하여 아주 흥미로운 오픈소스 프로젝트를 공개했습니다!

🎨 MewUI: 닷넷에서 즐기는 픽셀 UI의 매력

먼저, 송영재님이 개발한 MewUI(@Aprillz)는 매우 가볍고 직관적인 픽셀 기반 UI 프레임워크입니다. 무거운 UI 라이브러리 대신, 픽셀 단위의 정밀한 제어와 독특한 감성을 원하는 개발자들에게 최고의 선택지죠.

🎬 Bad Apple!! 챌린지 정복

이 강력한 프레임워크를 증명하기 위해 이상준 님이 'MewUiBadApple' 프로젝트를 선보였습니다. 단순히 영상을 틀어주는 것이 아닙니다:

  • .NET 10+ 환경의 최신 기능을 활용
  • FFmpeg를 통한 실시간 스트리밍 (사전 인코딩 NO!)
  • 픽셀 단위 렌더링을 통한 완벽한 실물 구현

🤝 함께 성장하는 커뮤니티

운영진들이 직접 오픈소스 생태계에 기여하고, 기술적 한계를 즐겁게 깨나가는 모습이야말로 우리 커뮤니티가 지향하는 가치입니다. 이들의 열정적인 행보를 응원해 주세요!

Are there any "case studies" of whole communities moving to the fediverse, similar to the Forkiverse?

"Covid Conscious Communities Survey"

"Hi, my name is Jamie and I am doing my master's thesis on Covid conscious communities. I am a social anthropology student at Stockholm University. I myself am Covid conscious and chronically ill/disabled, and with my thesis I hope to highlight the importance of Covid conscious communities and the many things that can be learned from them."

"Feel free to scroll through and just answer the questions that you have the energy to answer."

Pass it on :-)

Covid Conscious Communities Survey

**You must be at least 18 years old to fill out this form** Note: in this survey I use the term "Covid conscious" to refer to anyone who takes precautions against getting/spreading COVID-19. I recognize that some people prefer to use other terms, or might feel that they do not take enough precautions to be considered Covid conscious. Anyone who recognizes COVID-19 as a harmful disease that needs to be mitigated is welcome to fill out the survey. Hi, my name is Jamie and I am doing my master's thesis on Covid conscious communities. I am a social anthropology student at Stockholm University. I myself am Covid conscious and chronically ill/disabled, and with my thesis I hope to highlight the importance of Covid conscious communities and the many things that can be learned from them. In my thesis I will argue against narratives that pathologize Covid conscious people. My main research question is: how do Covid conscious communities resist harmful societal norms and systems? This survey is one of several ways that I am gathering data to help answer this question. Filling out this form is completely voluntary, and you can skip any questions that you don't want to answer. Feel free to scroll through and just answer the questions that you have the energy to answer. Partial answers are welcome. Your answers can be as long or short as you want. If you have any questions for me, you can write them (and your email address) in the final question box and I will do my best to get back to you. Everything you write in this form will remain anonymous. Thank you so much for taking part in this survey! Please share it with your Covid conscious friends if you can! This survey will close in March 2026. Project supervisor: Ivana Maček
