Threads has arrived with a big bang and (traditional) social media already changed forever in the past 24 hours. They promise #ActivityPub integration soon but few details are known and there is no running code yet. Depending on who you ask, it will be either the best thing that ever happened to the #Fediverse, or the worst thing requiring immediate blocks, or is irrelevant. Expect intense discussions about #threads, its impact and what to do at the next #Fediforum in September. Join us? We set up a #threads account to check it out. Name: FediForum. Follow us there if you like: https://www.threads.net/@fediforum Mark your calendars! The next FediForum online #unconference for the #Fediverse will happen September 20 and 21st, 2023. It's an #event whose program is determined by you: you, the attendees, decide what the sessions are, what topics are discussed, and what to spend more or less time on. Registration will go up shortly. In the meantime, fill out the interest form at https://fediforum.org/ and read the notes from the more than two dozen amazing sessions we had at the first event in March! The software demo videos from #FediForum are now on-line, including demos of #Mammoth, #Owncast, #Steampipe, #Bridgy Fed, #Flipboard, #Whalebird / #Fedistar, #Planetary, #microblog and #Wordpress ActivityPub plugin. There are also extensive notes from almost all sessions that people ran on so many #Fediverse subjects, ranging from technology and standards to moderation, to enterprise needs to community building and more. Check them out at https://fediforum.org/ . And join us next time? Time for the report out on sessions! The best part of any unconference is hearing the variety of things that were discussed. |
