    I (Evan) will be at DWeb Camp Berlin this year. DWeb camp is a 5-day camping event in a forest near Berlin, where decentralized web hackers and advocates from around the world convene to discuss the state of the Web. I’ll be there hacking on ActivityPub implementations and meeting interesting people. If you’re coming to DWeb camp, please let me know — it’d be great to connect.

    I am OVER THE MOON excited to see that #Mastodon now has a filtering option for notifications from bots. It’s working spotlessly from a build of Mastodon 4.6 from today (Here’s a screencast of me demoing the feature). This means that people using servers with #tagspub as a relay can opt out of getting boost notifications from tagbots but still keep sharing their content and still keep getting boost notifications from people. Thanks to the @Mastodon team for including this feature; it goes a long way to making tags.pub work for everyone.

    We’re proud to have been involved in organizing and supporting the european.social effort to promote European social sovereignty. Digital independence is an important topic for policymakers worldwide; local control of social network platforms needs as much if not more attention. Working with our fellow signatories, we think the European Social Stack declaration provides a framework for giving Europeans control over their social networks while staying fully connected to the rest of the world. Federation and bridging let people on different networks, with different ownership and business models, share their lives on the Internet, inside and outside Europe. SWF thinks this common-sense approach to social sovereignty is a good template for others outside Europe to borrow. Thanks to all our fellow signatories; we’re looking forward to building the sovereign social web with you.
