    @mapache@hachyderm.io suggests there will be 40 minutes of memes followed by 5 minutes talking about BadgeFed. Love it.

    Much of this conference has just been @fedimemes@feddit.uk

        Very cool, @mapache@hachyderm.io says BadgeFed is a .NET implementation of ActivityBadges, not a new specification.

            @mapache@hachyderm.io is issuing badges for FediCon participants. I haven't seen so many people sit up all at once. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f64b.png?v=513019a8bfd" title="πŸ™‹" />

                Vagrant Cascadian is on stage now after lunch, talking about hyper local networks and "Off-Grid Inter-Neighborhood Networks"

                Much of it is well beyond my limited comprehension <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f613.png?v=513019a8bfd" title="πŸ˜“" />

                      Next up we've got @matt@writing.exchange, who'll be talking about WriteFreely and write.as!

                      Blogs have been around just as long as forums (although I think BBSes might beat us both).

                        @matt@writing.exchange using a 2003 version of @davew@mastodon.social's blog as an early (!!) example of blogs.

                        He (Matt) argues... it's "just a link", "organic discovery": blogrolls on the left, RSS links on the right.

                            There was an earlier slide about "benefits", but here are Matt's list of drawbacks of being in a walled garden.

                            Add in enshittification and the list is complete.

                                        AFAIK IP over avian carrier (IPoAC) has been a standard since 1990. See
                                        RFC 2549 (1999), it has been implemented in 2001. Afaics you propose an improvement using SD cards instead of printing datagrams on paper. This may be quite an improvement!

                                          I went to get a cup of coffee and came back to @garbados@hey.hagelb.org talking about how we don't need more toilet spikes.

                                          I was told that I should just watch the recording <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f914.png?v=513019a8bfd" title="πŸ€”" />
