"The Verge and 404 Media are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites."
If you're not looking at @theverge and @404mediaco as social web platforms that are hosting hand-picked content creators with a publisher's infrastructure, you're not paying attention. #Fediverse
To the #Eleventy community: does anyone know of any projects to make an 11ty website a first class member of the #fediverse, similar to what The Verge is doing (via WordPress it seems like) and 404 Media will do once Ghost is ready (ref https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/). I did implement #webmentions on Cybercultural.com, using Bridgy etc, but it was unsatisfactory so I took it offline. I do want Cybercultural to be an “actor” on the fediverse tho, so now thinking about how to achieve that via 11ty.
"At least two digital media companies are exploring the fediverse as a way to take more control over their referral traffic and onsite audience engagement." The Verge and 404 Media will both support ActivityPub and the fediverse. #Fediversehttps://werd.io/view/665233a622e6230d5c0d69d2

Disabled (ME/CFS) nonbinary neurodivergent person raising funds to cover bills/pet needs/additional expenses not covered by medical insurance or EBT. I'm working through the disability process, and hoping to get approved for state benefits while I wait for SSI. Until then I could use assistance covering these needs.
I think the #fediverse is the kind of thing that has to happen to a social system like the Internet to force you to be engaged, more self-sufficient, and not reliant upon the largesse of government subsidies and vampiric commercial entities.
"Als ich in den 80ern sagte »Ihr werdet alle mit Computern arbeiten.« wurde ich für verrückt erklärt.
Als ich sagte »Die Computer werden vernetzt sein.« wurde ich für verrückt erklärt.
Heute werde ich für verrückt erklärt, weil ich sage, dass das #Fediverse die Zukunft von Social Media ist. Aber das ist ok."

Bowie's album Diamond Dogs was my music of choice when I was gearing up to hit the city (Montreal) for a night of partying. I'll bet I could recite every word of it.
When we asked the moderator community what resources they’d like IFTAS to work on, one of the most requested items was a way to convene and collaborate with fellow moderators around the world.
We heard requests for things like sharing lessons learned, tips and tricks, technical help with moderation tools, standard terminology, and translation of non-native language content.
Our favourite quote from the Moderator Needs Assessment… “together we are stronger”.
We couldn’t agree more.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of IFTAS Connect, a new community of practice designed specifically for Fediverse moderators. IFTAS Connect aims to provide moderators, community managers and anyone engaged in creating a safer Internet with a wealth of tools, resources, and a supportive network to help them connect, collaborate, and navigate the complexities of federated content moderation. (Read the Press Release here.)
We’ve worked with a broad array of moderators and advisors to kick-start the available resources – and we hope many more will join and contribute their experience.
Crowd-Sourced Library – A growing collection of practical guides, wellness resources, and research curated by moderators for moderators. The library is open to all, no sign-up required.
Discussion Forums – Engage with fellow moderators, share experiences, suggest new resources, and learn from one another.
Community Groups – Join groups focused on specific aspects of moderation, from software assistance to cultural issues.
Moderation Support – Ask for help with moderation software, content translation, and access IFTAS resources like the moderator sandbox and the FediCheck automated denylist service.
In addition we have aggregated news relevant to Fediverse community leaders, a multilingual feature under way to allow for contributed translations, and a wiki-like shared document feature being tested. Read more about the IFTAS Connect account features.

IFTAS Connect is free to join. We invite all Fediverse moderators, community managers, trust and safety professionals, and academic researchers to request access to IFTAS Connect.
