 We're hosting a Meet & Greet for #FediForum attendees tomorrow prior to the actual FediForum event. If you are registered, you should have received a calendar invite. It's entirely optional, in case you want to hang out before the serious business of the unconference :-) or to get acquainted with QiqoChat, the service we are using to host FediForum. There is still time to register. https://fediforum.org @mala: It's been a while since I saw one of those: gopher://gopher.3564020356.org Gopher used to be built into browsers (their version of embrace-extend-extinguish back in the day ...:-)) but not any more. What's a good client to run? @J12t I use Lagrange (https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange) on Mac, bombadillo (https://bombadillo.colorfield.space/) from any linux terminal. But these are just my preferences, you'll probably find other hints following the #gopher hashtag 🙂 Have fun! 😉 Rycaut@mastodon.social wants to discuss "Adding enterprises and organizations to the Fediverse (what is needed to help them)" and "automating payments for supporting instance" at #FediForum Fediverse and enterprises is a subject rarely discussed, but should be! Yet another great topic!  Hi @fediversereport, glad to see you're coming to #FediForum and wanting to discuss "journalism, activitypub, spreading the fediverse". @debs wants to discuss "Sociotechnical issues - ensuring we think about how do we create a healthier social space and empower users and masto admins to do the same Funding models" at #Fediforum this week. For the many other subjects attendees want to discuss, go to https://fediforum.org/topics gvelez17@mas.to wants to discuss "Content moderation, search and discovery" at #Fediforum this week. Fediforum starts in less than 48 hours! https://fediforum.org/ In light of @TexasObserver 's shutdown, I keep thinking independent #journalism has a similar funding problem as the #fediverse. It's fundamentally a "commons" activity and hard to monetize directly. If you do, you get ads, and paywalls and clickbait and all of that. Whatever the ultimate solution, perhaps both funding mechanisms turn out to be the same?  @J12t @TexasObserver Even as newspapers are shutting down, the newsletter business appears to be growing, many organizations sponsor paid-entry speaker series, YouTube videos are making advertising money, etc. "Journalism" != "Newspapers." It seems to me that rather than shutting down, some of these newspapers should consider reformulating themselves as centers for a broader range of profitable journalism-related activities. What does “electronically disable” mean? https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russians-angry-downing-ukrainian-drone-over-their-homes-2023-03-27/ Have to agree with those arguing that plug-ins for #chatgpt (an “App Store” for it) are a big deal. VerifiedJournalist.org -- a rather interesting project that verifies journalists in the Fediverse. There's a ton of them already! Who knew so many journalists are here! /cc @jeff  Myself? I want to talk about what's on my #Fediverse wish list at #Fediforum, which is actually longer than the 8 points I blogged about here, but I gotta stop somewhere. https://reb00ted.org/tech/20230425-w3c-activitypub-wishlist/

  @flaki@flak.is wants to talk about "Ownership of one's own data. Customization, user interfaces & ux of social feed consumption. Small communities. Reducing friction to self-hosting and small instances" at #FediForum There are so many interesting, and important subjects, like these, we could easily fill an entire week with interesting #FediForum sessions! E-commerce has been around for about 25 years. For anybody selling a consumer product, referring customers to "one of our partners" to get replacement parts -- none of whom have a way to buy parts on-line -- is simply not acceptable. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the neighbor is hammering something in his backyard. It must be spring. This is both absolutely amazing and frightening. #ai creates marketing campaign in 30min. https://oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/superhuman-what-can-ai-do-in-30-minutes This graph of credit default swap prices has a bigger peak just now than I would have guessed.
