Every day now I come across something independent, creative, unique and interesting on the #fediverse the #smolweb #indienet #indieweb. It feels like an independent Internet is really flourishing - feels kind-of like the mid-to-late '90s, only now it's much more... accessible, findable, creative, politically interesting, artistic, informed, subversive, non-commercial, independent. In this moment it feels like the 'Net is *ours* and not theirs (corporates/states). #mastodon #gemini

Ghent ActivityPub Social

We’re having an informal little social gathering to mark the kickoff of our Indienet project with folks from the City of Ghent / Digipolis / Gentinfo this evening at 6PM at Bar Wilson @ NEST. If you’re in the area, free, and interested in the fediverse, ActivityPub, etc., do feel free to drop by and say hello :)

About to fly to Belgium. Excited to meet the dev team in person and kickstart our collaboration with the City of Ghent to explore networked personal technologies that empower individuals to own and control their own place on the Internet.
