<p>We’ve got a great conversation lined up for Monday morning at the <a href="/tags/fediversehouse/" rel="tag">#FediverseHouse</a>. Mastodon’s <span class="h-card"><a href="https://macaw.social/@andypiper" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>andypiper</span></a></span>, Bluesky’s Rose Wang, and The Onion’s Leila Brillson discuss building, growing and sustaining meaningful communities in 2025.

<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@mike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mike</span></a></span>&#x27;s terrific fireside chat with <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>molly0xfff</span></a></span> on digital sovereignty, aka technological self-determination (taking control of your digital life and data), is up on the SXSW site. Don’t sleep on this talk, especially if you’re a writer or other kind of creator. With plenty of high-quality Q&amp;A too, one person in the audience said it was “worth the badge.”<br> <a href="https://schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/</span><span class="invisible">PP147154</span></a></p><p>(We’re working on getting all the panels and talks from the <a href="/tags/fediversehouse/" rel="tag">#FediverseHouse</a> edited and posted.
