I just signed up for the "Un-Workshop" coming up in March. Who else is planning to sign in?

"Growing the Open Social Web" was already on my bingo card for 2026. I have my own ideas, but I'm more excited to hear what others have to say.

If we blame misinformation on social media for the trouble in our democracies, then growing the (responsibly) may be our best path forward.

The way to grow the is by us volunteering to help create non-profit web sites in exchange for them engaging with the Fediverse. I am very involved with the US Green Party, and we desperately need help. No need to be a US citizen. Same is true for other global parties and other organizations.

I think I want to create a list of FediVerse volunteers for non-profits and political organizations. Please let me know is this interests you. @fediforum .

If you attended #FediForum before, you now should have received an invite to our upcoming un-workshop on "Growing the Open Social Web". It's intended to be half way between unconference (agenda is entirely open) and workshop (focused, with up-front paper submissions). 1/4

It's intended to be half way between unconference (agenda is entirely open) and workshop (focused, with up-front paper submissions).

This un-workshop is a bit of an experiment, but then, the topic is important, and many people in the community have very specific thoughts on this topic that are worth being laid out up-front.

Hey @fediforum when I clicked on the link you just sent me in the email you just sent about your un-workshop on "Growing the Open Social Web" my email client warned me that it was a tracking link.

As I said last year,

"The "Open Social Web" is a term surveillance capitalism companies and their friends have been using since at least 2008 either as a synonym for "the Fediverse" or "the fediverses". FediForum used to be about "the Fediverse", and I'm not quite sure when they changed their focus."

Thanks for providing such a great example of the surveillance capitalism-friendly nature of so many supporters of the "Open Social Web"!

By contrast, a long-standing #fediverse value is the critique of openness. I don't know how many of you were here in 2020, but that's when the outstanding Seven Theses On The Fediverse And The Becoming Of Floss was published, and it's got an excellent section on that. Please read it!

@imp3tuz @Mastodon that conversation came up with some loser from , and a white person tried to explain that when you mute black people you miss the racism. Then gave examples. Rather than acknowledge the racism, he blocked the white people trying to tell him racism is real. Myself included.

Then fell apart because of said racism. It’s literally insane.

Racism on masto is far worse than anything on bluesky/threads. Much more insidious. Hands down.
