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.

Got some new Hubzilla, Pixelfed and Mastodon stickrrs made by @digitalcourage and some more WikiMedia stickers and another Mastodon one I hadn't seen too

I can't trust this story, mainstream news is manipulated by billionaires and you never know how they're going to skew the narrative.

@grok can you add some context, please?

Today, we're launching two things at @anewsocial: a Bridgy Fed settings page and a Patreon!

Bridgy Fed Config lets you switch bridging on/off for your Bluesky, Mastodon, or Pixelfed accounts. For ActivityPub-based accounts, you can add a custom domain to look native on Bluesky.

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

@rwg the last Fediverse report from five days ago was jam-packed with Fedi news: https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-117/

He alternates between that and the Bluesky report, which just happened to be the last edition of the newsletter: https://fediversereport.com/bluesky-report-117/

@laurenshof is probably one of the hardest workers in reporting this space and gives some of the best updates on both sides of the ecosystem.

I dunno, man - if you're going to do a tariff on Apple, at least have the poetic justice to make it 30%

Friendly reminder

@mastodonmigration I'm not, these are live and decentralized *right now*

As they say, the “S” in “MCP” stands for “security”! So, here’s some guidance on how to build an _actually_ secure MCP server. This stuff is cool enough that we should actually do it right. https://www.fastly.com/blog/building-an-actually-secure-mcp-server-with-fastly-compute

@mastodonmigration But I just said that there's already decentralized verification taking place right now, as we speak.

I also highly recommend digging into what Blacksky is doing and how they're a great case study in how piecemeal decentralization is happening within the "centralized" part of the ecosystem.

These aren't hypotheticals, ATProto is already decentralized and is continuing to expand at different levels of the stack.

@mastodonmigration I see we're still continuing to move the goalposts of decentralization here lol

@mastodonmigration As a platform, Bluesky PBC owns which verifiers it trusts, but clients or other platforms on ATProto can make completely different decisions using the same framework.

You can say a lot about Bluesky PBC, but we shouldn't misrepresent things, as it waters down all the other pushback we may have about the organization.

@mastodonmigration This mischaracterizes how verification works at the protocol level. Yes, on the Bluesky PBC stack, it's centralized approval of verification and verifiers, but others can plug-and-play any verifiers they want.

deer.social has already built a constellation-based verification system where folks can verify each other and make each other verifiers. It's live and working, and already has numerous verifications and verifiers, including those who live on the Bluesky PBC stack.

To answer an FAQ: We're all-volunteer, and no one's funding us except…us.

We'll need to seek a little bit of funding to keep things running, but we decided to build first and look for money when we need to stabilize the full-time humans, and we'll be fully transparent about that if/when it happens.

Lastly, sorry for the weird metadata thing with the preview cards! It works in lots of places but not here/today, so we'll figure that out. 🌬️
