Now for Cory Doctorow at #fediforum 🤩

Congratulations to our friends at A New Social who launched their new Bounce tool today at #FediForum, and got a nice writeup on Techcrunch! techcrunch.com/2025/...

We asked people signing up for #FediForum why they are coming. The biggest reason, by far: to connect with other, like-minded people. Second: learning about the Open Social Web. Followed by demoing software, telling others about their projects, and running sessions.

Mike McCue is showing of the new app from Flipboard called Surf. Break free from a single home feed and curate multiple timelines with sources from across the open social web, filtered to suit your mood. about.surf.social/

Michael Foster from Newsmast is showing off channel.org, a public feed builder for the open social web, in a #FediForum speed demo. https://channel.org/

Ivan Minutillo is announcing the Bonfire Social 1.0 release candidate and showcasing the latest features included in the release. bonfirenetworks.org/...

I’m having ot pop in and out of the #Fediforum due to work but want to udpate my #Surfapp and Bluesky feeds for Open Social Web apps as new ones appear at the show. wedistribute.org/2025/06/f… Anyone there who can help me put the social handles of new ones in comments.

It's not about one protocol; it's about the open social web as a people-centered movement. Bounce lets you move from service to service, keeping your network in the process. #Fediverse www.theverge.com/news/678928/...

New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom. Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

Couple days ago, Llama 4 was released with a massive 10 million token context window! What does that mean? It means you can now feed way more data into your LLM, think of multiple threat reports, an entire codebase, a full IOC database, or even massive log files... 😉 ➡️ […]

I found an old doodle in my archive that never made the cut for my book. I just updated it with my new design and thought I should share it. :)

@gregsargent.bsky.social is doing important work on Trump's deportation gulag. But this misses a key point. Stephen Miller lied his ass off to get Trump elected. He lied abt TdA, he lied abt number of criminal aliens, he (obviously) lied abt Haitians, he funded a shit-ton of false ads abt migrants

I think I’m in inception. I just synced my Channel.org Podcast channel with my Surfing Through Podcasting Surf channel. And now I think I broke the internet. LOL Surfing Through Podcasting https://surf.social/feed/surf%2Fcustom%2F01jwye13krmp27ve525x15p41n #SurfFeeds

BREAKING: New Poll of Veterans finds strong opposition to Trump military parade for his birthday, VA layoffs, and more:

Pretty huge over performance for Democrats in this South Carolina special election.

The one weird trick for the Democrats to win the 2026 elections is to make the election about Trump

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

I think this is a more or less up-to-date map of the businesses, LLCs, and people associated with the Trump family crypto projects.

If the posts, pages, podcasts, articles and videos etc on every website were all natively #ActivityPub items, the whole web would be part of "social media".
