Now in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for #OSHWSummit 🙂

Day 3 at @republica in Berlin - so much has happened already: great meetups, panels, and discussion about the #Fediverse! Join the panel with our CFO @mellifluousbox today at 16:45 on Stage 7 about "Independent social networks: how can they become mainstream?" #rp25 #mastodon #rp25fedi […]

Volles Haus bei @joinmastodon mit @schroep und @leonido - gutes Zeichen: Offene Plattformen interessieren viele.

I just bought my tickets to this year’s #Fediforum, and if you care about the Open Social Web - both Bluesky and Mastodon/Fediverse enabled offerings and beyond—you should too. Very worth your time.

I would love to hear what folks who went to the #Mastodon meetup in Berlin last night, thought about the opportunity to get together. I couldn't be there, so... how was it? Should we do more of this kind of thing? I'm hoping to run something in the UK at least, in the coming months. Open to […]

Uncertain whether #FediForum is for you? Or how to get prepared? Or how to run a session? Come to our office hours Tuesday, May 27, 10:00am pacific (19:00 central Europe) to ask whatever question might have. Sign-up: https://apps.fediforum.org/nextcloud/apps/forms/s/kaDkD38YxL4cQgNmYWPBeYo9

We passed 3000 tracks this week, for a total of 3019 as of today 🎉 #TIBR #TheIndieBeat #BandWagon

Nice post and nice blog, powered by #BSSG How to Install Windows NT 4 Server on Proxmox https://blog.pipetogrep.org/2025/05/23/how-to-install-windows-nt-4-server-on-proxmox/ #Proxmox #IT #SysAdmin #WinNT4

Berlin-based #Fediverse folk, the @Mastodon team is hosting a meetup tomorrow evening (it is a side-event for re:publica #rp25, but you don’t need to be going to re:publica to go along to the meetup). I heard a #plushtodon may be there, too! https://lu.ma/7h454kcp

The battle continues. I have a cage to put up around the #BirdBiddy but it needs a small adjustment with my Dremel first. 🐿️🚫

Today: set up two Bird Buddies in the garden (feeder and bath); got GNOME set up on the #PocketReform; played a couple of levels of #DOOMTheDarkAges (which is great); played through all of Spilled (a wonderful little game); watched the penultimate #DoctorWho episode. Decent day of unwinding 👍🏻

The next release of Mastodon will have features to better support communities in different jurisdictions around the world - multi-lingual rules translations, terms of service, and optional minimum age requirements for signup. You can learn more in our latest blog post […]

Trump: “The EU has rules and sales taxes and the people don’t want our bloated cars or crappy adulterated food.” What a whiny man baby.

Truly sad news about #glitch no longer hosting apps. It meant a lot to the creative botmaking community. Would love to know where everyone's moving their bots! (And hoping many will keep them alive!) #glitch #MadeWithGlitch #CreativeBots #botmakers

Pouring one out for @glitchdotcom 😢 time to look for new homes for a number of webby things. I've loved being a Glitch Pro user!

Hey is there a "fediverse thing" *you* might want to give a presentation about as a part of an casual free event in Berlin in the coming month?

Next week some of us from @Mastodon will be at re:publica #rp25 in Berlin (that's May 26-28). Come by if you want to chat or say hi, or even just see the #Plushtodon in person. We're also organizing a separate meet-up outside re:publica: https://lu.ma/7h454kcp

Has anyone here issued #OpenBadges? Specifically, V3. I can see that it is just a JSON document in the image EXIF, but I'm confused about how I actually sign the claim as an issuer.

Really struggling to be on Mastodon because everyone I follow is (very lovely and brilliant) very right on, very left wing, and very morally outraged. Obviously with very good cause, but I really miss the silliness of old school twitter when it wasn't just an echo chamber of doom every time I […]

We've posted an overview and recommendations with regard to the passing of the "Take It Down Act" which mandates removal of non-consensual intimate images and videos, and deepfakes, within 48 hours of reporting. We will update the post as we get more insight. This is of interest to US-based […]

If you’ve been adding tracks to Bandwagon in the last week+ and we’re waiting for them to show up on The Indie Beat, I believe we’re all caught up now. If your work still isn’t making an appearance on TIBR let me know. Occasional failures do happen. We’re up to 2848 tracks now! Y’all are […]

Our #HackWimbledon @hackwimbledon jaunt today saw us hacking and learning with various LoRa #meshtastic @meshtastic gadgets on Wimbledon Common. While we were exploring, I also took the opportunity to add a bunch of new entries to @openbenches as #opendata contributions 🙂
