Surf is going to #AtmosphereConf! Don't miss @mike's "Feeds are the new websites" lightning talk at 3.10pm on Saturday, March 28 — we can't wait to see you there!https://atmosphereconf.org/event/81Xovjr#OpenSocial #ATProto #SocialWeb

@imanijoy @Mastodon And if you haven't seen it yet, their talk from #FOSSBackstage2026 was absolutely :chefs-kiss: fantastic You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/oNxpTvbTy54?si=XK9FX3QikZJZ81Wf#OpenSource #UIDesign #UXDesign #Design

Sharing this mainly as funding the work in the fediverse is a big challenge. It would be nice to see someone here to take a shot at this.Also, nice to see so many familiar faces from our community on the jury board!

We hope that through this Action Plan, more local publications will be able to work with us to launch their own local news + social app. You can read the full Action Plan here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/amplify-the-local-media-action-plan/amplify-the-local-media-action-plan 2/2

@newsmast @jaz Huge welcome to Jaz!

@unattributed@gotosocial.social AT Protocol may have initially been developed at Bluesky, but they are in the process of developing a standard for it: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/atp/about/ The IETF Working Group was only fully setup the other week, so you may have missed it.

@newsmast looks great, congratulations!

Following recent world events, unlawful governments, lack of consequences, you might feel hopeless. It won't fix everything, but at SFSCon last year, Michael and Saskia presented an exploration of the Social Web as the solution for resistance. A network of social platforms which let us learn from one another again. Not from the algorithm.Check out the presentation below https://www.sfscon.it/talks/growing-the-open-social-web-case-studies-from-newsmast/#SocialWeb #Resistance #Hope #Fediverse

@ayo@ayco.io Thank you! COSCUP is an in-person event, so there isn't much to do remotely—but spreading the word when we announce the CFP and the schedule would be a huge help. I'll make sure to post updates here!

@newsmast @michael Signed!

@smallcircles@social.coop Thanks for suggestion!

@newsmast @teamtoot @fediforum Thank you for all the work you do NewMast persons.

@hongminhee @COSCUP Congrats, this is very exciting!!

@haubles @FediTips @Mastodon That's great. No shade meant at all. I just think centering and supporting great community based efforts is so important. Happy to see ideas discussed openly.
