@haubles @liaizon open sign up, the ingredient that any unmanageable Mastodon instance must have!

@liaizon@social.wake.st as I posted already publicly I'm bothered by the fact they went for AI slop rather than pulling the actual memes, in a community where this is very frowned upon ​​

@tsyesika and @cwebber up next talking about what's next for the fediverse!

https://stream.fosdem.org/h2215.m3u8

The fediverse is not done!

@tsyesika is talking about issues with naming and fishing and has a slide up with a fake @Gargron account

They are talking about what the fediverse would look like if we were using more generic servers

@FediVariety up next about getting public agencies to use the fediverse

@lucent yeah I noticed that in their slides too

Taking a tiny break to get some fresh air and then ruin the freshness with a cigarette and then back to my regularly scheduled programming. @andypiper has awarded me "official love blog status" so now my duty has peerpressure!

Had a longer break then I meant to opps!

Now we have @mayel and @ivan presenting @bonfire!

"ActivityPub is a contaminatiion vector" - @Bonfire

@coopcloud getting a shoutout from #Bonfire

Wow Jacobin.de is gonna be using Bonfire and Lauti with a white-labeled mobile app by Newsmast

Just shouted out some important things to come like working with @anewsocial and @bsky.brid.gy and with @swf on encryption

Now we have @hongminhee presenting @fedify!

@fedify abstracts away complexity in building for the fediverse

I sadly had to step out so I missed @tobias's presentation about the amazing Friendica but there should be a recording of it

Then @cubicgarden and ? are presenting their Fedi Legacy project
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VGXMXE-machine_readable_wishes/

Now @mobilizon is presenting a quick overview of their event software
