@andypiper any chance we hear anything at #fediforum about #mastodon new #business #strategy ? Which I LOVE btw! I really think that's the way forward for us. Worked for Red Hat, Suse, etc.

I was just looking at the #stats from my @Castopod for the #podcast #audio version of #firesidefedi. I'm blown away at the diversity of folks. I see folks from #nigera , #brazil , #southafrica , #malaysia , #hongkong , #southkorea ! And of course #us , #canada , #eu . As an American that's […]

Does stuff like this actually help? Maybe not. Does it feel good? Yes, yes it does. (Especially if you get to write a letter that's backed by the entire American Astronomical Society like I just did!)

Good day folks! Tomorrow, 2025-09-16, we're talking with @[email protected]. So far though, I have an open week next week. I'm just wondering if folks have any recommendations, or any volunteers, of folks you'd like to hear more about? It could be literally anyone, or any company […]

I finally convinced the nonprofit where I volunteer to use @badgefed !! It is interesting, because as I mentioned in @firesidefedi the fediverse is not a priority in terms of their audience. So even that the badges are using #activitypub on the back, their whole experience is in the badges […]

Good day all. I apologize that I haven't done my weekly update. I've already had to reschedule one interview yesterday and I have another tomorrow. I'm going to be honest though, I'm massively struggling with mental health this last week. I'm not telling folks this for pity or any of that. I'm […]
