Is this a product of the Groups TF? Since you're the author I'm assuming that isn't the case.

It may be worth asking them to see what things they've converged on.

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org oh, nice! Another rust framework!

@silverpill@mitra.social @smallcircles@social.coop

@benpate@mastodon.social talking about the toggle button in bandwagon to share stuff to Bluesky, and how others should make AP integration as simple.

@benpate@mastodon.social preparing for the next talk

I went to get a cup of coffee and came back to @garbados@hey.hagelb.org talking about how we don't need more toilet spikes.

I was told that I should just watch the recording

@matt@writing.exchange showing the difference in non-Note support then (pre-2025), and now (2026)

@matt@writing.exchange's demo account is going more viral than expected. > 1k views and 9 boosts. @fedicon@pen.writefree.ly

@skavish@welley.social my understanding is that FEPs can be informational as well. So a sharing of best practices also qualifies as an FEP candidate.

@silverpill@mitra.social

@skavish@welley.social definitely not, I think it's just a common sense approach to handling abandoned/unmanaged instances.

There were calls for this last year when spammers took advantage of abandoned servers with open registration and went absolutely nuts.

Does it rise to the level of an FEP? Maybe if combined with a couple other common sense approaches to forum admin got any other ideas?

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org may have some additional thoughts.

@evan@cosocial.ca "if the Fediverse is about connecting people to people, then Ostatus is part of the Fediverse. However usage has been dropping off.

...

Philosophically yes, practically, heading towards no"

@liaizon@social.wake.st

@evan@cosocial.ca explaining that "the fediverse is quiet" is a bug, not a feature.

Good thing we have a solution for it

AP devs, fixing AP paper cuts one at a time

In response to the question "what should the Fediverse not be?"

@ozoned@btfree.social warning against turning it back into walled gardens.

The panelists now asked which default server they'd recommend. These questions are hard!

Even @ozoned@btfree.social wasn't sure prior to the panel.

@evan@cosocial.ca suggesting that maybe you already have one and don't know; suggests checking your orgs and associations; possibly self-hosting or checking joinmastodon.org

@django@social.coop warns about checking Instance rules to align on values.

@ozoned@btfree.social suggesting Mastodon for twitter fans, Pixelfed for Instagram fans, forums for topical based discussions (plus a shoutout for ActivityPub.Space, thanks!)

I did not know that @django@social.coop was based in Edmonton!

The contingent of Canadian AP developers continues to grow... No wonder all of the Fediverse conferences in the Americas are in Canada

Q: "is Truth Social on the Fediverse?"

Now @ozoned@btfree.social explaining (very carefully) that Truth Social is built on the Mastodon codebase but functions like an island. It does not federate.

Q: "is BlueSky on the Fediverse?"

@reiver@mastodon.social "Evan why don't you take this one"

First up, the panellists are asked to describe the fediverse in 6 words or less glad I'm not up there!

@django@social.coop says "when big social blows up, confettiverse" (apologies if I quoted it wrong!)

Day 3 of FOSSY aka Day 2 of FediCon starts with a panel featuring @evan@cosocial.ca @reiver@mastodon.social @django@social.coop and @ozoned@btfree.social!

@skavish@welley.social argues private communities should not be federating content outward, just granting access.
