You @boris@liaizon and @ntnsndr should do a lesson-learned or maybe how-to fedi-coop at the next #fediforum in September. I continue to believe this is the correct model for tech ops for the future…
Listen, as a huge fan of the Fedi, I am not bashing it by pointing this out. I am saying that a new day may be dawning, and this could be a much bigger deal than old-school fedi users and evangelists want to admit. I cannot imagine any highly seasoned social media user not seeing the immediate utility, value, and excitement of the personal algo concept.

There are also extensive notes from almost all sessions that people ran on so many #Fediverse subjects, ranging from technology and standards to moderation, to enterprise needs to community building and more.
I called a session about how companies like #Fastly can be good stewards of the #Fediverse and grow it sustainably, for people, projects, and the planet.
@hamishcampbell hey there! You’re right, SocialHub is great! The #fedidevs group via venera came out of conversations at #Fediforum; and the gup.pe group was set up after the recent initial meeting of these parties (last Monday, Apr 10). The Matrix room was also a direct result of that meeting. The group hashtags/channels may or may not be used; we’re absolutely aware of the AP rocks community, it’s one (central!) part of the discussion, per e.g. https://dev.to/andypiper/thoughts-around-fediverse-developer-communities-cb6
@strypey@hamishcampbell fedidevs grew out of the fedidocs work that @gabek was doing, and came about through the #fediforum gathering (as Hamish knows). I hoped to bring my enthusiasm, long time love and use of the open web, and experience of building and supporting Dev and API communities, to support a cross-fediverse set of docs and code sharing.
Did a #Fediforum debrief between us organizers @Dangerangel@Identitywoman and me. By general agreement, we think FediForum was a great success! Lots of good people, being passionate and engaged across the various sessions, far more important topics than could conceivably be discussed -- some people continued discussing even after the event ended -- and lots of follow-up. Some resulted in very specific steps that will move the Fediverse forward.
@evan had the idea of a “#fediverse#developer network” earlier today. Pondering this, I think this is a really excellent idea. It brings under one umbrella a whole bunch of other ideas how to move the fediverse forward, and simplifies those a lot. I think we should investigate this …
What about we do a #fediforum session tomorrow on this? Maybe @davidslifka would join us, who recently talked to some potential funders for things like that I think.
