Fighting words from @molly0xfff's opening talk at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025:

“We're facing an existential threat. We need a web that serves people not profit, a web built on protocols, not platforms…It's being built right now by people like you in communities like this one.”

Thank you, developers and denizens of the open social web.🙏🏼

Molly White's Call to Action

PeerTube

I wrote about my recent experience replacing common web services I use (Google Drive, GDocs, Pastebin, Dropbox) with open source alternatives and running my own servers.

This was way cheaper and easier to do than I thought! https://brodybrooks.com/posts/2025-digital-homesteading/

The vatican needed a latin word for tweet, because the pope tweets. Or tweeted, I suppose, given the whole dead or dying situation. Anyway, they call them breviloquia (s breviloquium) which is honestly a great word even tho it’s not very brief itself. Given its nature and etymology I think we should be able to use it platform-independently and apply it to toots, skeets and even Truths as well. Anyway thank you for reading this breviloquium.

This ended up being more involved than I planned! Maybe it’ll come out tomorrow.
