When I went to SXSW in 2023, few had heard of the fediverse. This year is very different thanks to the work of legions of builders and evangelizers over the past two years.

On Sunday and Monday we're hosting the first fediverse house at #SXSW with some great people like @molly0xfff @pluralistic @mmasnick.bsky.social @evan @davidimel.com @pcottle @jasonkoebler and many more.

Stop by if you're in town and say hello. You can RSVP here (nearly 1,000 RSVPs so far!) about.flipboard.com/fediverse-

@mike @molly0xfff @pluralistic @mmasnick.bsky.social @evan @davidimel.com @jasonkoebler Hopefully the Bluesky guy will address why they're dragging their feet on proper federation and enshittification-proofing

@bajabanjo @mike @molly0xfff @pluralistic @mmasnick.bsky.social @evan @davidimel.com @jasonkoebler good luck on that one. Bluesky is just the successor to X if it goes belly up. Mainstream will just follow suit to the platform.

@JLCFOSS @mike @molly0xfff @pluralistic @mmasnick.bsky.social @evan @davidimel.com @jasonkoebler that would be my guess as well, but I could see an audience member in a "Federation House" event asking about it in a Q&A session. You never know.

@evan @JLCFOSS @mike @molly0xfff @pluralistic @mmasnick.bsky.social @davidimel.com @jasonkoebler I think I'd phrase it "Is Bluesky going to federate so that it interoperates with other services, and if so, when?". Thanks in advance if you're able to ask!
