Looking back at 2025 I can't help but feel an immense sense of gratitude towards the fediverse.

I found so many friends and lovely communities on here. I feel part of a rebel alliance, working towards the goal of creating a better internet - and resisting broligarchs.

This year I made a stock photo for the fediverse and an introductory video. I hope I can find MANY new ways to support the good cause in 2026.

Wishing everyone a wonderful new year!

We got this.

#RESIST ! ✊

The rebelle alliance part does resonate with me.

J'ai constaté à diverses occasions que agir, créer, faire soi-même, est un antidote à l'impression de subir les choses.

Une de mes filles était très anxieuse face aux changements climatiques, nous avons appris à cultiver un jardin et elle a maintenant davantage l'impression de pouvoir, modestement, agir.

Le fédivers, c'est ma façon de faire quelque chose face à l'oligarchie.

@_elena I've decided to go absolutely nuts with this and anyone can join me.

This is a total mess right now. I don't know if anyone can get enough of what I'm meaning to decide if they're interested. The organization part is hard for me... Today I'm going to code so... I don't know when I'll have enough to be comfortable so I'm just doing this. I won't be able to accomplish this on my own. I can build my own little network but it would be just another home lab.

We can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

Happy New Year! 🥂
