Back from lunch I regret to inform that I am not able to provide a good commentary on @catouma@qlub.social's presentation as I only barely passed Grade 9 French. 🥲

"What is the fediverse"?
Oh boy. The language we use matters.

@saskia@backend.newsmast.org going through many of the apps they've built for projects, institutions, papers, etc.
They all share a common thread, none of them talk about the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, Bonfire, etc.
They all also have split DMs away from the public feed. Heh

@julian Some great thoughts to chew on there.
Particularly with my current paper-in-progress being all about crafting your message for the audience.
Now churning away on how to choose the words in the vocabulary of municipal governance. Neither "fediverse" nor "open web" is a hook for them ... but they are coming to understand what "Open Data" means. They also have a view of what "social media" is, but WE don't want to use that, as we're trying to differentiate. What, then?

@evan@cosocial.ca asks for a show of hands of people who have quit a social network and later gone back.
More than a few hands go up.
"And this is in a room of people who are really good at quitting social networks... and making their own"

Oh hey look!
Evan reporting 43k+ independent servers operating as of today.
These open source projects get those larger organizations on to the fediverse.

Oh here's a hot take.
"To a large extent, media still thinks corporate social media matters, even if they were kicked off of X or Facebook" (paraphrased)

@evan@cosocial.ca being asked what types of fediverse apps he's excited about, considering that there is a lot of "this is xyz but federated"

Forums and threadiverse apps got shoutouts ad well.

It really speaks to the audience a bit that every time I attend a fediverse focused conference the phrase "seize the means of production" always gets said at some point
(not usually in presentation, mind you)
