FOSDEM 2026 Social Web Speakers
I have been trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.
I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.

@JenJen@mastodon.art lol wait you're drunk nerding? I LOVE THIS!
All of those are correct. They're FREE as in cost and FREE as in freedom to use. You can take the software and read it's code and change it for whatever you need.
Same with Owncast, Mastodon, Peertube, Linux, etc.
@paige ooh I want to know about that! Will the event be streamed/recorded for those of us who sadly find ourselves far away from Montreal?
@matt@writing.exchange @res260@infosec.exchange @Floppy@mastodon.me.uk @paige@masto.canadiancivil.com I live in Raleigh NC. I can't make it. But I too hope there's a live stream or recording. Preferably on Peertube. :-). Can we get more info in general really? Is this a new project! I must know more! 😄
Attention #Fediverse save the date!
On February 24th, 2026 in #Montreal we're putting on a fediverse event.
- A morning of technical talks
- An accessible afternoon to bring-a-friend
- An evening to socialize.
For my bit, I'll be doing a talk on how content creators can build their own self-hosted #Patreon with FOSS tools!
Hey Fediverse, does anyone have any experience in using slurp to migrate an account to another domain while keeping all posts, media, etc?
https://codeberg.org/vyr/slurp
I would like to migrate my account to another server but want to keep my data, is that possible with slurp?
From Mastodon to GoToSocial it seems to be working but does it also work to another Mastodons server?
Thank you!
This is a test. Like, share, follow, etc to help test.
Marie Xmas yo yo yo!
And happy christmahaunakwanzika!

Andy Piper? THE Andy Piper? I didn't think such a famous person did podcasts! ;-). Now that I know, I REALLY need to give this a listen.
Also Ian let me know when 2026 would be good for me to join you. :-). I might not be Andy Piper, but I'm a person that can speak and has a face and thoughts. I think that counts for something. 😁
Whats that Santa has left for the all good people of the world?
Yes!
#Techgrumps 3.3.5 (Special holiday special)

Happy holidays people... Bless The TechGrumps
They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.
@stux@mstdn.social @Wally@thepit.social @georgetakei@universeodon.com I downloaded it as well and was thinking of hosting it on TubeFree.org as well though a bit concerned considering nonprofit status. The right thing to do is host it though isn't it?
@ozoned It's like New Year's Eve is celebrated more than New Year's Day 🙂
It's not every country, but a lot of countries celebrate on 24th while some celebrate on 25th.
I think it's 25th in America because it inherited that tradition from its British colonial days? The UK celebrates on 25th.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @ronsboy67@mas.to @MAJ1@beige.party I think the bigger celebratory day is the 25th, yes. Super interesting to learn. Thank you for sharing!
Happy Christmas to people celebrating today! 🥳 Hope you are having a nice time in whatever way suits you best, either partying or peace or a mixture.
If you want help with using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse there is lots of easy-to-understand support on the website at:
(The section at the top of the site marked "Quick Start" is especially suited to new people.)
If you have any specific questions feel free to ask me directly! 🙂
A lot of countries here in Europe celebrate on the 24th Dec 😁
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services wow really? I didn't know that. Can I ask WHY? Like is the 25th still Xmas, but you do everything on Xmas Eve? Or is Christmas literally the 24th?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all celebrating!
Whether you've been naughty or nice, we hope you're getting a nice rest over this festive period 🎄 🎁
For goodness sake! Just went to the local hotel for supper. The place was full of a chess convention with chess players everywhere in Reception telling us all how great they are at chess. Honestly, there's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
I've removed CBS News's listing from fedi.directory as they seem to have fallen to Trump now 😞
Not sure what to do about local CBS affiliate news feeds, can any Americans advise on the relationship between an affiliate and a network? (AFAIK there is nothing similar to affiliates here in Europe.)
@FediThing@social.chinwag.org Affiliates get their marching orders from the network. While the local news folks could use their voice, they won't. The nightly news in the US is a joke. See the special cut of the EXACT SAME script being used by numerous affiliates.
