We promised that, if we returned to Perugia for the International Journalism Festival this year, we'd go all or nothing. We chose all and it paid off! ⚡️ What an amazing couple of days, meeting new people, co-hosting a hugely successful lunch event (in a stunning venue), and, most importantly, having fun as a team. Huge congratulations to @bjoernsta@eimsbuettel.social @mellifluousbox@mastodon.social @PaulNemitz@eupolicy.social and @rose.bsky.team for getting on stage and advocating for the Social Web 🪐 #SocialWeb #IJF26

We're jumping on a plane and heading to Perugia for #IJF26 This year, we're looking forward to talking to even more people in the world of journalism who believe in community and protecting news values. We hope that they can see the future of the Social Web is a solution for journalists. At our lunch event, we'll be highlighting combined efforts across the Open Social Web, including both AP and ATProto. We hope it's a success! #Journalism #News #SocialWeb #NewsMedia

Brilliant to see such a thoughtful report, backed by @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu reference the power of decentralised social networks as we move towards digital sovereignty in the EU!

This time next week we'll be in Perugia, Italy for the International Journalism Festival! Whilst we're there, we'll be hosting a lunch alongside @bjoernsta@eimsbuettel.social from Save Social for anyone and everyone interested in combining efforts to make the #SocialWeb a new home for journalism. This will be a great opportunity to showcase the Social Web to the people who could benefit most which we hope will build some weight behind the Social Web movement. #Journalism #IJF26

Our co-founder @michael@backend.newsmast.org represented the Newsmast Foundation last week at Rebuild, an event bringing together 60 European social platforms to take back control of social media. There's a lot of work to do, but we're so proud to be part of a long overdue European movement calling for commitment to European social platforms. You can see and sign the letter here: https://letter.rebuild.net/ #SocialWeb #EU #SocialMedia #Rebuild

The #FOSDEM talk from @haubles@hachyderm.io and myself about Mastodon’s upcoming community governance plans; our vision, mission and values; and updates to the server recommendations, is now available to watch. I was honoured to be asked to co-present this session More to come on all of these topics over the coming weeks, on our blog and on the main project account. I’ll be posting about the other sessions from the #SocialWeb Devroom over the next few weeks, as well. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HJYRFF-tending-the-herd/

@Yehuda@turtleisland.social @Tzipporah@turtleisland.social Hi - I’m Hannah, I’m Mastodon’s new Community Director, I joined at the end of September. First, thank you for your work to bring Indigenous/ BIPOC communities to #Mastodon and the #SocialWeb. I want to do everything I can to support you. I promise you that we will add this listing to join mastodon as soon as possible. We have a significant backlog on the Server Directory, but we have a plan to fix it. Over the weekend we announced a first experiment in evolving onboarding (but it will not be the only one). Simultaneously we are starting to look at how to evolve the Server Directory too, including adding more kinds of server classifications or categories which can be used for other kinds of discovery methods. We also want to move the Server Directory to a PR-based backend so it’s more manageable to keep updated, and so the community can help us do it. I am sorry we haven’t done this yet. We are working on it, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me to check in on progress. You can email me too: hannah[@]joinmastodon.org. If you want to hear more, here is the talk where we announced the first experiment and shared more info about Server Directory (we will publish a blog post soon too). The relevant sections start at around 10:50. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HJYRFF-tending-the-herd/ Happy birthday, friend :) more soon

I think more #Fediverse developers should take a look at FEP-3b86 Activity Intents https://codeberg.org/benpate/fep/src/branch/fep-3b86/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md #FOSDEM #SocialWeb

Some nice themes running through the #SocialWeb Devroom at #FOSDEM: storytelling from different national and international contexts (Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Europe); new apps and ideas (badgefed, splinter, FASPs, Spritely); building infrastructure and foundational tech (Bonfire, Fedify, Emissary). This is really great momentum! The speaker list today has been wonderful.
