First talk today at the Social Web Devroom we have @pfefferle talking about the state of WordPress's fediverse integration#FOSDEM #ActivityPub #fedidev

Now we have @hongminhee presenting @fedify!

@fedify abstracts away complexity in building for the fediverse

I sadly had to step out so I missed @tobias's presentation about the amazing Friendica but there should be a recording of it

Then @cubicgarden and Samuel Margerison are presenting their Fedi Legacy project

@benpate is up now presenting #Emissary (https://emissary.dev)

Why do social media platforms fail

"What is plurk?" - @benpate

@benpate is now showing off Atlas Maps

The fediverse is not done!

Core Assumptions
1) "Communities must be in control"
2) "Nobody shall be locked-in"
3) "There is NO FREE marketplace of ideas."

@liaizon
As a comms guy, I wanna see #3 workshopped into a positive statement.

@liaizon @cypherhippie what’s the best place to track your work with DIDs in the fediverse?

In the atproto world there’s an emerging extension of PLC that has a lot of promise as a far more decentralized identity ledger: https://discourse.atprotocol.community/t/didplcbft-a-decentralized-approach-to-did-plc/571?u=erlend.sh

@liaizon @technical-discussion Were these talks recorded? I'd love to watch some of them (and I'm sure I'm not the only one).
