This account will be moving to @ozoned0@mastodon.social since my old @ozoned@mastodon.social is suspended for some reason. Not sure why there. But I'll be moving within the next few days. 😊 This will allow me more time to focus on creating Fireside Fedi and other things.

Learned a lot of great things at #FOSSY

First and foremost, us #fediverse folks NEED to have a Fediverse primer for a session. Fossy is more focused on general FOSS and a LOT of folks there didn't know what the Fediverse was or how to use it. Hoping to start work on a "The Fediverse Is..." presentation that I can hopefully give next year.

The amazing @benpate@mastodon.social suggested us having a Fedi related booth. We can help folks onboard with QR codes, answer questions, have starter packs, etc.

And thank you to @karen@floss.social for excellent advice on presenting and speaking.

It was an incredible time and I recommend everyone go next year and donate to sfconservancy.org/sustainer/

Not certain if I can go next year yet, but I'll remain hopeful.

If anyone has questions for my panel of guests, see 2026.fossy.ca/schedule/prese... , let me know.
I would request it's on the standard FsFd quiz form of nonsense.
Example:
Red, Green, Blue.
Pancakes, pans, or cakes.

Kikis Delivery Service is a lovely wholesome movie. I think I lines Howl's Moving Castle art and animation more, but Kiki is so cute and wonderfully wholesome. Highly recommend.
I've also seen Totoro and that's just magical.
Maybe I'll watch Ponyo or Nausica next. Any suggestions?

2026-05-16T20:34:08Z

I talk about the #Fediverse whenever I get a chance. The trick is being receptive, not pushy. Let them try it in their own time.
Only saying this because I now have two long time friends actively participating in the Fediverse where 6 months ago they had no interest.
One was even using an app with AP integration and didn't even know it.
Anecdotal? Absolutely! But our reality is built on our perceptions.
Very excited by this! 😄

2026-05-11T01:56:33Z

I know lots of folks are talking about Monthly Active Users when it comes to health of the Fediverse.
We use that to compare social medias and even ourselves, a social network, to each other.
I argue we should be focused on user engagement. I know LinkedIn has "impressions", but idk what that means.
So I wonder if there's a good way to generate this. Someone posting is the highest, commenting, subscribing, liking, disliking, and follow on down. I guess that would be a statistical model? But with diminishing returns. One SUPER ACTIVE ANNOYING poster does not a network make, but "media" it does.
I don't have a clue how this would work statistically. But I theorize, that while we're smaller MAU, our user engagement is significantly higher when population size is accounted for.
Is there any data anyone knows of to back this up or disapprove it? I'm pro small.social though, so maybe I'm wrong. Any data scientists in the Fediverse? :-D #data #dataIsBeautiful #fedi #fediverse #science

Thank you so much again to @j12t@j12t.social @anca@mastodon.xyz for a wonderful Fediforum.
I'm putting this in writing. As I said at FediForum, I appreciate y'all so much that if I ever have another child I promise we'll name them after y'all.
JohAnca.
I expect they'll one day marry John Mastodon and bring about the golden age of the internet.

I love the #Fediverse. I love #Peertube. Our strength is: we're decentralized. Our weakness is: we're decentralized. How do we find like instances and things WITHOUT an algorithm?
Well I run tubefree.org. I know Makertube.net is a good instance. I follow that instance. However, I trust the admins there, why not follow who they follow? Thus we have a chain of trust.
How do I do this easily though? I came up with a script: git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex
Want to USE the index on YOUR Peertube so you follow everyone I follow, and follow those I trust and who they follow? Go to your Peertube - Settings - General - Federation - Check "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" - Index URL: ptindex.btfree.org .
Want to be involved in the chain of trust? Message me! I'm here @ozoned , @ozoned@piefed.social , @ozoned:matrix.org , ozoned.01 on Signal, ozoned@btfree.org via email.

Currently watching #FOSDEM #openSocialWeb track. This is about the #fediverse and all kinds of different projects people are working on. EVERYONE has a role in this. If you are enjoying the fediverse, YOU MATTER. Find a way for you to help this community. As @samvie@chaos.social just said, we just need more shoulders! Everyone doing whatever they can. Something as simple as talking to someone.

I have had people state they didn't know I run a nonprofit as well as @firesidefedi . My #nonprofit is @BTFree .
https://btfree.org
Here is what we stand for

All proceeds (100 %) are reinvested directly into Fediverse projects, ensuring that every contribution fuels the growth of open, user‑controlled platforms.

2026-01-18T16:02:26Z

Just realized something. Nutrition labels were put on food to help educate folks as yo what they're eating. It helped normal people understand basic nutrition values in their food. This was one step to educating the public.
I just realized I want an Internet Privacy Label. When I go to sign up for a service you have to list out in detail every single way you sell my data and who to. I don't want legalese. I want a LIST.
Maybe once people see the long list they'll start taking this more seriously?
Anyone know if anything like this exists or is in the works?

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!
Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.
NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:
The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.
