Remember when the web was fun? @cwebber does, and she reminded users of that in her keynote speech at last week's FediForum, in which she talked about how the fediverse can't succeed without joy. Here's @ricmac's writeup of the event, which included presentations from @_elena, @quillmatiq, @mike, @michael, @benpate and more.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night to you, depending on where you are, and when you see this #NewstodonFriday thread! Here’s our weekly selection of stories from indie media outlets on everything from a holier-than-thou Texas legislator to an incredible scientific treatment that may have cured a little boy of a genetic illness. Plus, housing scams, Grok’s obsession with South Africa, and a word from The Boss. We love independent media, and we hope you’ll share these stories far and wide, comment (we’d love to see your recommendations for the best things you’ve read/watched/heard this week). And if you can afford to, please donate your money to these brilliant sites.⤵️

We’ve just uploaded a bunch of clips from @davidimel's Fediverse Corner panel at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025, featuring @evan, @mmasnick and @pcottle

We know the sound is super rough 😅 but many of these snippets deserve to be heard. Thanks for bearing with us.
They talk about:

- Solving the cold start problem
- Taking control back from billionaires
- The deal with Threads’ federation
- Keeping vibes sacred (and whole)

It’s #NewstodonFriday once again, where we share stories from independent newsrooms and journalists, plus one or two from our editorial desks. We have two equally good, but very different pieces about the perils of confidence, a fantastic @ProPublica interview with Abigail Dillen (president of Earthjustice), about the new hostility towards environmentalists, a sobering story about deaths in custody in Texas, and a guide to boycotts. We’ve also got our own idea about who should buy Fyre Festival, and a helpful reminder about the importance of gratitude. We’re grateful for independent media — check out the thread, comment, like, follow their accounts and subscribe to their publications. ⤵️

@nivenly, an organization that supports open-source services and projects, has launched the Fediverse Security Fund. This member-supported program will pay people who identify and fix security vulnerabilities that might affect fediverse services and apps. “Part of the program is…education for project leads, helping them understand why responsible disclosure practices for security vulnerabilities are important,” open source contributor @thisismissem told @Sarahp. Here's her story for @TechCrunch
