At the first FediMTL conference, @evanpro, Cory Doctorow, @plarosecadieux, @dustyweb, and others spoke about the promises and challenges of a decentralized "social web" that's separate from mainstream social media platforms. betakit.com/can-canada-fin…

FediMTL -- a conference on #DigitalSovereignty and the #SocialWeb in #Montreal 24 Feb 2026 fedimtl.ca

The Fediverse is crucial to Europe's digital sovereignty, and Open Source software is essential to the Fediverse. The @socialwebfdn, @NewsmastApp , Save Social, SABOA, and Fedivariety provide feedback on Europe's Open Source policy. socialwebfoundation.org/2026/02/03/eu-…

The new Social Web Working Group at the W3C will be iterating and revising the #ActivityPub standard. socialwebfoundation.org/2026/01/15/new…

@AuroreLalucq The Fediverse is a network of interoperable social networks and content sites that support local control and digital sovereignty. Threads, Mastodon, WordPress, Flipboard; even BlueSky and Nostr are connected. If you want independence, join the Fediverse. socialwebfoundation.org/what-is-the-fe…

Lovely, but not enough. We need to build our independence now. It starts with our payment systems, a sovereign cloud, and an industrial policy for digital infrastructure and social networks.

✨ Author Spotlight: Richard MacManus ✨ Richard sat down with ActivityPub creator @evanpro to talk about the protocol's history and the future of decentralized social media. thenewstack.io/the-creator-of…

[#WCCanada2025] 43.3% of the web runs on #WordPress, and @evanpro just made sure no one forgets it. ⚡🚀💪🏻 @WordCampCanada #WCEH 🇨🇦

At #WCEH we welcomed a student from @Carleton_U's @JSchool_CU. I believe she may have intereviewed @davewiner and @evanpro, but she also wrote a piece on @photomatt's talk that was published in the @therepositorywp. #WordPress #Community therepository.email/key-takeaways-…

Had a nice recharge after #WCEH, time to dive back in! My list: ✅ Improving my block validation tools (thanks @ryanwelcher) 🌐 Exploring WordLand and the fediverse (thanks to @davewiner & @evanpro) 💡 …and a few more ideas brewing (thanks brain power). Let’s go. 🚀

@jrobbnc @OReillyMedia Thank you!

@evanpro @OReillyMedia Dude, I didn't know you had a book! I'll definitely snag this!

My book "ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web" is now available on Amazon 🥳 Thank you @OReillyMedia ! amazon.com/ActivityPub-Ev…

If you’re looking for a new place to land when leaving Twitter, then obviously you can go to BlueSky, but you should also consider the Mastodon-compatible Fediverse. We did a write up on what the Fediverse is here: socialwebfoundation.org/what-is-the-fe…

Not sure where you want to spend your social media time? You should learn about the Fediverse. Choose the social app that’s right for you, and stay connected to all your friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. socialwebfoundation.org/what-is-the-fe…
