Today, with the help of our partner @Interledger , we are announcing a new program of grants for multimedia software and creators. In this program, we are asking software developers and publishers to partner to make new and better content on the Fediverse.

At the first FediMTL conference, @evanpro, Cory Doctorow, @plarosecadieux, @dustyweb, and others spoke about the promises and challenges of a decentralized "social web" that's separate from mainstream social media platforms.

At #WCEH we welcomed a student from @Carleton_U's @JSchool_CU. I believe she may have intereviewed @davewiner and @evanpro, but she also wrote a piece on @photomatt's talk that was published in the @therepositorywp.

Had a nice recharge after #WCEH, time to dive back in! My list:
✅ Improving my block validation tools (thanks @ryanwelcher)
🌐 Exploring WordLand and the fediverse (thanks to @davewiner & @evanpro)
💡 …and a few more ideas brewing (thanks brain power).
Let’s go. 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce that @evanpro will be joining us as a keynote speaker at #WordCampCanada this October in Ottawa! Like he says about the #Fediverse, #WordPress isn't just software, "It's about connecting communities and people." #WCEH canada.wordcamp.org/2025/wce…

If you’re looking for a new place to land when leaving Twitter, then obviously you can go to BlueSky, but you should also consider the Mastodon-compatible Fediverse. We did a write up on what the Fediverse is here: socialwebfoundation.org/what…

Not sure where you want to spend your social media time? You should learn about the Fediverse. Choose the social app that’s right for you, and stay connected to all your friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. socialwebfoundation.org/what…
