Thanks @sraible
& the entire organising team from the Open Source & EU Policy room. 🙏
Thanks @_elena who, as always, captured our special moments 📸
Thanks to everyone who came and those who didn't get access.
As @RichiH mentioned, Fosdem27 will be even more political, so we will certainly have more time and space for political debates.
Let us build on these meaningful events and debates ✨
My highlight of Fosdem26 was our panel ‘The Fediverse and the EU Digital Services Act: Solutions to the Challenges of Modern Social Media?' ✨
A huge thank you @jmaris for organising the panel & his excellent moderation. 👏
Thanks to @alexandrageese member of the 🇪🇺 Parliament, who took the time to join us & the FOSS community for this important debate over the weekend.
Thanks @mellifluousbox who shared insights & perspective of @Mastodon

Hi - I’m Hannah, I’m Mastodon’s new Community Director, I joined at the end of September.
First, thank you for your work to bring Indigenous/ BIPOC communities to #Mastodon, the #fediverse, and the #SocialWeb. I want to do everything I can to support you. I promise you that we will add this listing to join mastodon as soon as possible.
We have a significant backlog on the Server Directory, but we have a plan to fix it. Over the weekend we announced a first experiment in evolving onboarding (but it will not be the only one). Simultaneously we are starting to look at how to evolve the Server Directory too, including adding more kinds of server classifications or categories which can be used for other kinds of discovery methods. We also want to move the Server Directory to a PR-based backend so it’s more manageable to keep updated, and so the community can help us do it.
I am sorry we haven’t done this yet. We are working on it, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me to check in on progress. You can email me too: hannah[@]joinmastodon.org.
If you want to hear more, here is the talk where we announced the first experiment and shared more info about Server Directory (we will publish a blog post soon too). The relevant sections start at around 10:50.

Happy birthday, friend 😊 more soon
Nächste: @Mastodon mit @haubles und @andypiper.
1. Discord wird durch Zulip ersetzt. Ich gucke @hakendran dabei an. 😉
2. Statt Mastodon.social werden bald die regional nächsten Server in der eigenen Sprache vorgeschlagen. Das freut mich sehr für @Bonn.social und Co.
Alle Admins, die mehr dazu erfahren wollen, können sich hier registrieren (man entschuldigt sich für Google Workspace):

For my 70th birthday I would like #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility on #Mastodon. e.g. an Indigenous/BIPOC topic and a https://TurtleIsland.social instance listing at Join Mastodon. 😎
This is how I torture my family (feel complimented), I always want things money can't buy.
For over 3 years now @Tzipporah and I have been trying to build a vibrant thriving Native/Indigenous community on Mastodon. It's an uphill climb but we will not give up, we will succeed. We are glued to this concept.

There are only a few hours left to submit a proposal to the NLNet Open Social Fund. It's an easy proposal process!
Some nice themes running through the #SocialWeb Devroom at #FOSDEM: storytelling from different national and international contexts (Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Europe); new apps and ideas (badgefed, splinter, FASPs, Spritely); building infrastructure and foundational tech (Bonfire, Fedify, Emissary). This is really great momentum! The speaker list today has been wonderful.

"Big Tech produces monocultures" #FOSDEM #SocialWeb @Bonfire talk
Ihr möchtet gute Like-Buttons im Fediverse, die ordentlich funktionieren? Das Zauberwort für Entwickler*innen lautet „Activity Intents“ sagt @benpate. Es ist nicht so einfach wie bei zentralisierten Monopol-Diensten, aber die richtig guten Lösungen sind in Arbeit und Entwicklung.
