Gestern bei einem inspirierenden Wordpress-Meetup bei @wp0711 gewesen und @pfefferle bei seinem mitreißenden Plädoyer fürs Bloggen und die Möglichkeiten im #Fediverse und #SocialWeb gelauscht. Bin hoch motiviert, unser anderes #Wordpress Blog nun auch zum Föderieren zu bringen. Stichwort #ActivityPub Plugin.
Here's why I think growing the open social web is a huge opportunity - and some ideas I've had for making it happen: https://werd.io/2024/helping-to-build-the-open-social-web
What do you do to help share word of the Fediverse & wider Social Web with your peers?
We're curious about how we can grow this decentralised space amongst individuals so we'd love to hear your experiences.
Let us know in the comments & please boost so more people can share 🧡

This is ✨exciting✨
Congratulations @evan for getting The Social Web Foundation off the ground. This will really help move the social web forwards and we're looking forward to seeing the great initiatives that come from it.
We'd love to collaborate for a growing, healthy, multi-polar social web!

[TechCrunch] As the open social web grows, a new nonprofit looks to expand the ‘fediverse’
This is my first #Mastodon-powered fediverse server. _^
That means, https://aleph.land is one of the first and oldest Mastodon-based #Fediverse instance. _~
I occasionally log in here to keep it alive because this is historical and memorable for me. During this time, and before Mastodon was released, I was running my own Fediverse instance powered by #Hubzilla.
Back then, the protocol of the fediverse was #OpenMicroBlogging then #OStatus; #AcitivtyPub came years later.
Today, we have another federated protocol: #ATproto which is powering The #ATmosphere network (#Bluesky is just one instance).
(PS. Max chars in Aleph.Land is 1024; and using the #GlitchSoc fork since it came out.)
You can check out my first ever post using Mastodon here: https://aleph.land/@yahananxie/28062

We've got excited butterflies just thinking about FediForum later this afternoon! 🦋
Don't forget, we have a press pack available. If you're interested - just let us know.
We'll be demoing Channel. org & Patchwork, then convening a session to discuss community on the Social Web.
We hope to see you there!

At #FediForum today, we ran two sessions.
The first session brought together implementors of ActivityPub, AtProto/Bluesky, Nostr and IndieWeb applications to discuss how these protocols relate to each other, and what recommendations they all have for potential adopters who need to decide which to support.
It was a productive, cordial discussion and we will have more to say about it once FediForum publishes the notes from the meeting.
@tchambers @erlend @FedicaHQ
Thanks for the recommendation Tim!
We are big supporters of the #SocialWeb - first to support Mastodon, Bluesky, Pixelfed and more to come - for publishing, analytics and discovery
Having said that we are not open source

Kann #Wordpress ein Social-Network werden?
Der @decentered Podcast hat mit @pfefferle über seine Arbeit am #ActivityPub-Plugin gesprochen und ich habe noch einmal mehr über das #SocialWeb und Wordpress gelernt.

Überhaupt ist das ein interessanter Podcast für alle, die sich für das #fediverse interessieren.

My reply to a GitHub discussion on why WordPress should have their own Mastodon account:
Well, the first thing what I'm a bit bummed about here is that why is WordPress.org seeking only a commercial, wide-as-possible-reach type of platform in social media when the other major foot is obviously in the open source world? Mastodon and the Fediverse is full of WordPress and PHP people and influencers, WordPress itself connects to ActivityPub and Threads.net connects to ActivityPub as well. So the reach is not any absolute metric here as it's not just one platform. It's the whole web.
For the second question, just see how much WordPress is talked about between instances, I've seen numerous folks of missing the official WordPress account there, including the community folks.
Here are some examples of the brand accounts:
- Internet Archive, 52K followers
- Have I Been Pwned, 14K followers
- 9to5Mac, 25K followers
- World Wide Web Consortium, 31K followers
- GIMP, 10K followers
- Electronic Frontier Foundation, 62K followers
- 1Password, 9.3K followers
- Signal, 51K followers
In my mind the worlds largest open source CMS should be a part of this open social web movement.

Happy #InternationalCatDay to all the cats who've learnt to read AND use decentralised social media - you're doing better than some humans 🐈 🧡
The social internet is fractured. Fake news grows alongside mistrust and hate speech.
The Newsmast Foundation is dedicated to helping slow the spread by committing resources to building a better social web. A democratic online social space, where we can learn from one another and create a social network that puts people not profit first.

Why doesn't WordPress.org (the open source version) have a Mastodon account? Because they have considerably active Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn accounts...
Agora's / @phanpy's UI on desktop is pretty close to Threads. I like it. The "For you" feed here is amazing.
