FediForum is one of the supporters of the European Social Stack declaration that was published today.

in the cooperative spirit of FediForum, we are glad that so many -- often competing -- organizations are coming together to the common cause of advancing better forms of social media in Europe.

Kudos to many to make this happen, but particularly to @michael and @bjoernsta who spearheaded it.

Next FediForum, the online unconference to move the Open Social Web Forward will be:

October 6-7, 2026, online.

Mark your calendars! And registration is open. More info: http://fediforum.org/2026-10/
