I'm really looking forward to this, it's such a great idea! Expect chaos, and me headdesking repeatedly when I realise what obvious things I left out of the instructions. Which is of course the whole point 😁

Good day all!

Are there any of you out there that have any kind of stories about moving communities onto the Fediverse?

Whether that be you moved your family, you moved your friends, you moved your church.

Anyone out there have a success story?

If so, what worked for you? What didn't work for you?

I'd LOVE to hear from you, as our strength is all of us together. Let's all learn from each other!

Is anyone attempting to start a business where you attempt to sell the Fediverse to places?

So, I've been seeing news about all of the age verification laws, and I see a LOT of scared people.

Here's the way I see it, and I'd like to honestly get people's opinion, I think they're dumb, HOWEVER, I think the laws give ud a HUGE opportunity. YOU can run your own platform and you can verify your own age. Same with your family, same with your community. This gives us power.

Are people just going to hand over their IDs to Facebook? Probably, but it won't be me. And there will be massive fraud and issues and this will force legal degradation of centralized platforms.

Thoughts?

Just a reminder to anyone in the #Raleigh #NC area tomorrow, Feb 28th 2026, we're having a #Fediverse #MeetUp at Sir Walter Coffee, E. Davies St. Meeting there around 1800 until whenever folks care to wrap up.
