“The Forkiverse" is a Mastodon instance started by the hosts of the Search Engine podcast and the Hard Fork podcast. The site has picked up tens of thousands of users, with a distinctive local culture, and is a nice part of the #Fediverse.
And I’m glad that they’re going to stay connected to the Fediverse from their accounts on Threads, Bluesky, or elsewhere.

Today, with the help of our partner @Interledger , we are announcing a new program of grants for multimedia software and creators. In this program, we are asking software developers and publishers to partner to make new and better content on the Fediverse.
It's #Fediverse signup night at Foulab in #Montreal. If you've ever been curious about the federated social web, join us. It's free and open to the public.

At the first FediMTL conference, @evanpro, Cory Doctorow, @plarosecadieux, @dustyweb, and others spoke about the promises and challenges of a decentralized "social web" that's separate from mainstream social media platforms.

At #WCEH we welcomed a student from @Carleton_U's @JSchool_CU. I believe she may have intereviewed @davewiner and @evanpro, but she also wrote a piece on @photomatt's talk that was published in the @therepositorywp.
