Gregory Scallan (@npub1yy07...s0nn) is coming to #FediForum and wants to talk about: Making the fediverse useful for newbies Join us, Tuesday and Wednesday, online? Registration is still open:
We've scheduled #FediForum so that people from anywhere between central Europe to the American West Coast can participate. We start at 8am local time at the West Coast, and end at 22:00 central European time. It makes for great, multi-national conversations. And there are usually some brave people that join in the middle of their night, like from Japan, Korea, or New Zealand. One of these days we will schedule something more appropriate for you folks! The Open Social Web is truly international!
Timnit Gebru (@npub1z40l...s3fq) is coming to FediForum and wants to talk about: Accessibility on the fediverse, genocide prevention in multiple languages, using the fediverse for activism. Excellent topics! Join us, April 1-2, online. More info:
The "Proposed Topics" page for the next FediForum is up. When people register for FediForum, we ask them what topics they want to discuss. Not everybody fills out the form, and not everybody lets us publish what they said. But some do! Check it out at Anything sound interesting? Then please join them and us April 1 and 2. Any glaring omissions? Then propose the missing topics when you register yourself! You don't need to be an expert.
If you care about open social protocols, leaving X/Twitter and other big platforms, are excited by the opportunities of decentralized social media, want to meet like-minded peers on topics from technology to moderation, funding to community, join us online April 1-2! More:

Mark Zuckerberg announces Meta is getting rid of fact checkers and acknowledges more harmful content will appear on Meta's platforms now. What a great day to announce the next FediForum, the leading event to move the open Social Web forward. Join us April 1-2?
The new Social Web Foundation is launching today. @Evan Prodromou held early community feedback sessions at FediForum e.g. here: and it's good for the #fediverse and the #socialweb that the organization is now live!
The demo videos from #FediForum September 2024 are now on-line. Fourteen demos of cool #Fediverse software, as shown off by the developers themselves! Innovation is alive and kicking in the Fediverse! Given this is the Fediverse, get them from PeerTube here: (They are on YouTube, too, but we will post the link to there later.)
