Especially nice in combination with Akkoma instances as it supports:...
Biden is posting into the fediverse. Vernissage is a new photo platform in development. Newsmast's report on the diversity of communities in the fediverse.
This is a sort of a cross post but I was thinking maybe to get some visibility on the issue of UK public agencies requiring the use of private social networks to engage with them - Maybe a petition? Im surprised that someone hasnt started one already..

Threads has entered the fediverse with an open beta. Fediforum happened this week, showcasing a dizzying amount of fediverse demos.
This ended up being such a great interview. I know some people will shrug it off, because it’s Bluesky and not Mastodon, but Rudy’s a super smart dude and an amazing guest, and he shed a lot of light on building a community space for black people on an emergent platform.

This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:...
We're trying something new: live coverage of the #FediForum March 2024 Event! It's a first-ever experiment for us, come check out our coverage!
