Checking out WAFRN. I have been looking everywhere for a federated blogging (as opposed to microblogging) platform that doesn't involve Matt Mullenweg's bouts of narcissistic inanity or Automattic in general for years. The fact that WAFRN is more of a riff on Tumblr than WordPress or LiveJournal is a definite plus. The fact that it's free and doesn't appear to be hamstrung by features being behind paywalls is another bonus. The fact that it's not censored and doesn't appear to have echo-chamber-creating algorithms is another mark in its favor.

Hi #Testing and #Quality folks!
For our 2nd #Testsociety #conference in #Lisboa we are again looking to fill the speaker lineup with local and diverse speakers!

While we have some promising candidates already; I want to use the chance to reach out to my network to mitigate my blind spots and discover new speakers from #Portugal.

So please, if you know someone, send me their name or profile link so we can contact them.

Thanks in advance!
