The federated model, absent the “just add targeted ads” panacea, pushes us to rethink constraints like disk space and bandwidth and moderator capacity, and to build things that are much more frugal with those resources than the centralized, highly-capitalized hegemons.

What stuff can we build to help each other, that we can run on our “universal basic hosted servers”?

Our project wouldn't exist without your support, thank you ❤️

Over in #WordPress news, we shipped in Jetpack our Social Sharing feature for Mastodon.

This will allow site owners to link to their Mastodon profile and automatically (or schedule) shares of their blog posts to their fediverse followers.

Automattic is both doing this and working on ActivityPub support for WordPress as two side of the coin. Whether or want your site to natively be on the fediverse or share to other profiles, we want you to do both.
