#TokensOfGratitude 🌻

My personal thanks goes out to the many people that helped me stick around in this great #ActivityPub space full of fedizens.

Especially grateful I am, for their consistent support during many yeas, towards the @EUCommission who with @ngi and @nlnet made a BIG difference to where the fediverse stands today.

It goes to show that only with a little "breadcrumb funding" - as I call it in my #SocialExperience piece on my years of navigating chaotic #commons, doing #CommonsJanitoring and #CommonsCustodian duties - can already achieve so so much 🪙🪙

I hope for further improvement to the #funding facilities that are available to #FOSS and #SocialWeb cocreators, and look expectedly to upcoming changes in the #HorizonEU grant programs and their alignment to our fediverse developer ecosystem.

PS. You can find my definition of #BreadcrumbFunding in the "Challenges of standardization" section of my blog post, right before the call to ideation.

Grassroots fediverse evolution

Social dynamics in the grassroots fediverse ecosystem and laisséz-faire practices led to divergence from power and promise of the ActivityPub protocol. Grassroots standards and the ActivityPub API initiative can get us back on track.
