#Ghost: "The strongest reason to publish in the #opensocialweb is discovery that aligns with our values. #ActivityPub provides a way out of the link suppression and opaque algorithms of main-stream social networks. Email lists and ActivityPub both run on open rails, which means no single company can throttle your reach or cut you off from your audience. That’s good for publishers and good for the public."

What We Learned About Publishing on the Open Social Web

Over two years, we’ve grown alongside the open social web, experimenting with Ghost, ActivityPub, and Bluesky to publish in ways that align with our values.

Internet Exchange

Been working on this all day. Hosted on @fedihost (Canadian, no US dependencies), ready for anyone who wants a local community on the fediverse.

I'm going to be transferring my account there another day, for now I need sleep.

If you're in Ontario or connected to it, come say hi. And if you're running a Canadian instance, let's connect.

Ah yes, Tim Chambers, the #Nostradamus of the Open Social Web, graces us with yet another set of tepid #predictions that even a sentient toaster could muster. 🔮📈 How generous of him to "shine a spotlight" on #trends that everyone with a pulse already sees coming. 😂 Let's all meditate on his "quantifiable" prophecies and pretend we're impressed. 🙄

"Not by chance, recently #DaveWiner (@davew), creator of the #RSS format, declared that he sees #WordPress as the ideal “OS” for the #opensocialweb.
As soon as we experimented with (@pfefferle's) WordPress #ActivityPubplugin, we realized how we could immediately choose, in the plugin interface, the type of #Tainacan post we could select for posting in the Fediverse…[creating] a direct channel for segmented dissemination of #culturalheritage content to subscribing users."
