#Conversations_im is now available for free on Google Play until August 18th.

Whenever there is a conference with a strong #XMPP presence, I like to make the app available for free to make it easier for attendees to install the app and give XMPP a shot.

I'm attending #FOSSY and #FrOSCon this weekend and next.

Day 1 of FediCon.

#FediCon #FediCon2026 #FOSSY #FOSSY2026

There are 14 million total accounts on the fediverse that @fedidb measures; that’s a ~40% increase over the last two years!

…but there’s a lot more the fediverse can do to grow.

@evan is live now discussing this in the @fedicon track of FOSSY.

https://ubc.ca.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=90a26e9a-8dd4-439b-9941-b49d01781e51

We’re at FediCon to learn and share how the fediverse can use open source tools to help keep those 14 million accounts safe from the harms that affect every online service.
