Maybe California and other Blue states should secede. Take the $ with them. Let the MAGA states use TrumpCoin.

It's really tempting. The one thing that stops me wanting it is I know that Putin wants it. I always do the opposite of what Putin wants.

@Mastodon @Gargron @renchap @andypiper omg love this pic!

"the fediverse dream team", so many icons in this photo, tell them Pixelfed says hi for me, and that I'm literally their biggest fan.

And give Gargron a hug for me, he is my hero ❤️

And it’s a wrap for my first (EPIC) day at #FOSDEM.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible - and energizing - it feels to be around the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol, founders of #Fediverse software, admins of popular instances and developers of tools I use every day.

I took the opportunity to thank them in person for their incredible work 😊

It’s also been amazing to finally meet IRL lots of cool people I had been corresponding with for months on the Fediverse.

The best day 💛

Thanking people in person who’d otherwise be a distant anonymous figure on one’s horizon is one of the most meaningful things anyone can do. Such personal outreach often means the world, be it on the receiving or the giving side. I do this as often as I can when such opportunity comes up. Thanks for doing this! It would have been the driving factor for me coming to Brussels, but it’s not possible this year.

Your picture is obviously more professionally taken than mine but it isn't my profession. Anyway, I am really happy to have met you at last face to face in such an official open source event.
in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂

keep up the good work. You are my guiding light into the Fediverse.

The software developers are always all male, few females, thank goodness there is Elena who brings a touch of femininity to Fosdem.

And it’s a wrap for my first #FOSDEM - which was glorious.

It was incredibly inspiring and energizing to hang out and exchange ideas with so many Fediverse champions.

I’m also super grateful for the words of encouragement and nice feedback re: my series #TheFutureIsFederated.

This community is amazing ❤️

Onwards and upwards #Fediverse! 🚀

necessary plug: a massive shoutout to @evan@cosocial.ca as one of the folks hosting the Social Web devroom!

I'm definitely grateful I got to see @cwebber@social.coop and @mala@fosstodon.org's talks (but also others I forgot to grab their fedi usernames, I'll scour the slides later for those talks), and also attend the BoF room, lots of knowledgeable folks, the future is definitely federated!

Unfortunately I'll miss the event at HSBXL, next year I'll just book a flight later than 9 am ​:blobcat_notlikethis:
