@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 ❀️

@koen @Mastodon @Gargron @renchap @andypiper Yes!! I can't wait to meet Michiel and the rest of the NLnet and fediverse gang!

Tell Michiel that I say hi (and give him a hug for me), and can't wait to finally shake his hand in person. I owe him and NLnet a lot, Pixelfed wouldn't exist today without him and them ❀️

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 πŸ’›

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! πŸš€

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:​
