We have a small gift for you today: over the past 8 months, we've been building an icon library for various decentralized social platforms and protocols within the space. It's an ongoing effort, and we're happy to release our initial version today. It's like Font Awesome, but for the Social Web! https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/decentralized-social-icons/

This is simply a reminder: We Distribute is a nonprofit organization that currently runs on donations. Our lead writer has been writing and running this site for free for years. He's now a full-time student. If you could help support us during this time, it would mean a lot. ♥️

We Distribute - Open Collective

A news publication dedicated to decentralization, the Fediverse, and the future of the Internet. Connecting threads across the Web.

The author of "Protocols, Not Platforms", Techdirt's Mike Masnick, has joined the #Bluesky board of directors. His goal is to help the organization stay true to their original vision. https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/mike-masnick-joins-bluesky/

The #MastodonForHarris campaign has raised close to $500,000 within two weeks of being live. It is probably the largest attempt for political organizing on the #Fediverse, and may provide a playbook for other efforts going forward. https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/mastodon-for-harris/
