This is great - @fedify has launched an @opencollective to help sustain the project. This is a great library and framework that is helping many other projects grow into the #fediverse. Shout-out to @hongminhee! (also to @liaizon for posting about it as well)

Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 37F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.
Trump ordered a freeze of all federal loans and grants, a move that could upend the US economy.
Chinese company DeepSeek announced that it was able to build an AI at a fraction of the cost of US AI startups, using cheaper chips. Nvidia's stock plunged.
Gov. Healey bans NDAs across Mass. executive branch offices.
Does anyone have any experience with both #NodeBB 's and #Discourse 's #ActivityPub / #Fediverse integrations? I am wondering what each can and cannot do. I am familiar with NodeBB's federation but not with Discourse's one. It would be great if there was a comparison chart, but I haven't managed to find anything like that. Thanks!
#BotKit now supports #hashtags in your bot messages!
You can now add searchable hashtags to your bot's posts using either our dedicated hashtag() function or through BotKit's extended Markdown syntax. This makes your bot's content more discoverable across the fediverse and helps engage with broader conversations.
Whether you're building a news bot, content curator, or community engagement tool, hashtags can help your bot reach the right audience.
Check out our docs to learn more about implementing hashtags in your bots!
I believe it is one of our missions, as antifascist nerds, to break the myth of an inaccessible and complex technology. The tools, services, and software we all use everyday are the more or less indirect outcome of broader socio-political and economical dynamics. Therefore, we can and we should bring forward a massive resistance as we do on other fronts.
How do we do burst the bubble?
How can we practically unmask the politicality of technology to people outside the digital sector?
How do we popularize digital media critique?
What forms of art, workshops, and formats could take advantage of?
On Wed 11 June, at 14:00 UTC, I will be hosting an online round-table session with @transparenttech to discuss and try to answer these questions.
I will be briefly sharing my experience and my ideas after making Knitting Our Internet. Above all, though, I want to welcome any kind of contributions to address this mission in a multifaceted, intercultural, intersectional, and decolonial way.

We need more beer geeks in the Fediverse.
Great news! @chockenberry, the creator of the great #Twitteriffic—which Elon Musk destroyed—is releasing a new app called #Tapestry.
It will integrate #blogs, the #Fediverse, and #RSS into a unified and chronological timeline!

2024 saw a range of non-profit organisational growth across the #Fediverse, let's talk about some of the most exciting.
And do let us know if we've missed anything that you're think deserve to be highlighted.

Kia ora fedizens, a few months ago I was shoulder-tapped to take on stewardship of fediverse.party. One of a bunch of websites that aim to gather lots of useful info about the fediverse in one place. This is a project I've been a casual contributor to for years, and I really want to see it maintained. So I said yes.

Do I remember correctly that there was some conversation around #Bluesky considering a native #ActivityPub support?
Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 27F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10 mi.
Trump administration freezes on federal loans and grants have been unfrozen.
Another Trump executive order seeks to restrict how race and racism is taught in schools and to "promote patriotic education."
A passenger plane and a military helicopter crashed over the Potomac; there are 27 known casualties of the midair collision.
IceShrimp.NET has a new beta release, and the front end UI is starting to catch up to the back end. Including everyone's favorite, MFM! (Well, maybe not everybody, but between instances with support, it sure is fun in moderation)

We could all do with more music from independent artists in our lives, so I wrote about how I'm trying to help with that, in my own small way. #Fediverse #TheIndieBeat #Bandwagon #Linux
A day in the European Parliament, thread
I am totally mindblown, seriously feeling like I am on another planet.
For the first time in my life, I set foot inside the #EuropeanParliament, welcomed by Benedetta Scuderi, the most awesome Member of the European Parliament (#MEP), who I am so honored to be calling my friend.
As she is super busy, I just had the chance to chat with her over a quick lunch in the canteen of the parliament (what an incredible place). I basically talked about the #Fediverse non-stop ahahahah
After that, it was marvellous to walk around that immense building together with Benni’s super lovely assistants, who were so kind to allow me to accompany them while they were busy doing 4385904 things.
🧵 This is the first post of a thread narrating my very atypical but wholesome #ParliamentSightseeing experience.

@mkljczk I just wanted to say thank you for pl.mkljczk.pl. My employer blocked libranet.de from my corporate devices, i believe due to the fact that when you sign up for a #Friendica account here they also give you access to their #Nexcloud nc.libranet.de so they be 'fraid I'm going to upload company secrets, but your tool allows me to access the 'verse on the devices I use most.
I also want to thank @0461fcbecc4c3374439932d6b8f11269ccdb7cc973ad7a50ae362db135a474dd who recommended it when I found fe.soapbox.pub wasn't working with #friendica. I think he's too busy in #nostr land to look into our little side of the #Fediverse these days

Good morning 🌞 #fediverse
Guys! as we are looking forward to complete the house wall we are humbly reaching out for your help to finish building our home. A project we've been working on step by step.
we made a great progress on the walls and foundation. But now, we need to install the roof and I truly need some support/assistance
We will be pushing our donation within this months coming.
https://ko-fi.com/uggla/goal?g=23
no matter how small, will bring us closer. Let boost please 🙏
Would you help a poor single-user Friendica server admin out and boost this post?
Boosting will increase the number of servers my server federates with.
Thanks!
EDIT: that is probably not exactly how it works, but it kinda depends on which of the myriad of ActivityPub servers is seeing the boost, and I haven't checked all of them on how they decide what to pull in. For sure, having someone follow an account on the friendica server will have that friendica server push updates to the server of the follower, but other than that? Who knows :)
Thanks for the overwhelming amount of boosts anyway, and thanks to those following :)
