<p>i really wish I could have stayed for more than a beer and to be part of the audience tomorrrow for all the <a href="/tags/fedicon/" rel="tag">#fedicon</a> speakers but, the bus to the ferry to my car to home to family beckons. 😂 🚎 </p><p>What an incredible group <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@reiver" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>reiver</span></a></span> gathered! I feel very humbled to have been included and our little story about <a href="/tags/socialbc/" rel="tag">#socialBC</a> seemed well received. </p><p>It was so nice to meet people in PERSON!</p><p>The fediverse is making communities for people and there are good people making it happen!</p><p> <a href="/tags/fedicon2025/" rel="tag">#fedicon2025</a> <a href="/tags/bus/" rel="tag">#bus</a> <a href="/tags/yvr/" rel="tag">#yvr</a></p>

<p>“There are a number of platforms that provide their own APIs… that’s okay…but the ActivityPub protocol provides its own client API for applications. It’s underutilized within the Fediverse today, but I still think it’s really crucial.”</p><p>Evan Prodromou @ <a href="/tags/fedicon/" rel="tag">#FediCon</a></p>
<p>I'm a software developer working on a bunch of <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> things: <a href="/tags/emissary/" rel="tag">#Emissary</a>, <a href="/tags/bandwagon/" rel="tag">#Bandwagon</a>, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.</p><p>It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.</p><p>I got an opportunity at <a href="/tags/fedicon/" rel="tag">#Fedicon</a> to explain myself, so here it is:</p><p><a href="https://spectra.video/w/eod3ybLu7sHzAEMihej8km" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="spectra.video/w/eod3ybLu7sHzAEMihej8km"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spectra.video/w/eod3ybLu7sHzAE</span><span class="invisible">Mihej8km</span></a></p><p>It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.</p>
<p>I procrastinated on this way too much, feel apprehensive about my ability to sum up all my thoughts and feelings on a page, but I finally wrote about <a href="/tags/fedicon/" rel="tag">#FediCon</a>: <a href="https://deadsuperhero.com/the-fediverse-in-real-life/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="deadsuperhero.com/the-fediverse-in-real-life/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">deadsuperhero.com/the-fedivers</span><span class="invisible">e-in-real-life/</span></a></p>
