Some say other protocols have bigger budgets and are better at marketing.
I say: the Fediverse - by the people, for the people - has passionate advocates who use their talents to promote it, often without any financial incentives. It comes from the heart.
Before FOSDEM I asked my friend @sturmsucht - a super talented photographer - if he'd consider bringing his professional camera to take photos of speakers in the Social Web devroom. He did... and so did I.

I hope you enjoyed some of my pics from #FOSDEM's Social Web track. I have many more but I don't want to overwhelm your feed with them.
I have seen the fantastic photos @sturmsucht has taken and I cannot wait for him to share them. Keep an eye out and follow him.
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! I can't believe FOSDEM was a week ago already 🥲

@_elena Is there a reason to link to one specific mirror of the MP4 instead to the talks page which includes a player which should automatically choose the best format/mirror?
E.g. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/RCV98B-the-social-web-and-digital-sovereignty/ instead of https://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/FOSDEM/video/2026/h2215/RCV98B-the-social-web-and-digital-sovereignty.mp4

@_elena @sturmsucht Yes! I especially love how for each photo, you share the context, tag the person (so I can see what they have to say and perhaps follow them) and even link to the video. Thank you! 🙏🏽

@saerdnaer I didn’t know, sorry 🤦♀️
Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

@evan No matter whether Bob replied as "followers only" or " everyone", Bob's followers should be able to see his reply. They shouldn't be able to scroll up and see Alice's orignal post unless they also follow Alice. But Alice's choice for her own post should not override Bob's choice for his.
-
Yes, that seems like a good analogy.
-
@evan You've never asked anybody who has a private or follows only account about this have you? There doesn't need to be a massive data, but takes one response and it becomes really difficult to decide to follow the sloppy pattern and keep pushing it forward.
It is an easy path forward to do the right thing.
I’m here to help you.
-
So that etiquette would demand that Bob limit the visibility of his reply to just Alice, and let her decide how far it should reach beyond that. There's a certain grace there, but does the etiquette of telephony translate to microblogging?
-
I’ve always modeled this challenge as a set theory maths problem and the answer is the original set regardless of who is replying, as the original poster set the limiting constraint conditions + selected the members of the group with access to the conversation thread.
Plus there are “n” Bob’s, where “n” is the number of Alice’s followers.
-
@skobkin I always read it as "visible for the OPs followers" like it's implied that "followers only" is applied to the root of the thread.
But after our previous discussion this can definitely be clarified 🤔
