So, who is in the Free/Open Source software community in Brazil, advising the government on how to move to the Fediverse? And how can I help you?

Please remember that Mastodon doesn't have a marketing team or budget. Whatever media coverage Mastodon gets is from inbound interest from journalists. The growth of the platform has been predominantly through word of mouth. If you want the fediverse to grow, tell your friends.

"If you’re going to build something, build it in a way that’s standard and portable across multiple services."

@bart and I chatted with @jaypeters of @theverge about @subclub 🙏🏼

I also talk about how protocol-based networks can drive "one last network effect" and start a flywheel of innovation in social media.

That could be especially true if the fediverse is successful to the point where it creates what sub.club adviser Anuj Ahooja calls “one last network effect.” That would be the idea of everyone joining fediverse platforms built on an open protocol where it’s possible to interact online with the option to move from network to network and platform to platform at will. “From there, you can drive so much innovation around social media,” Ahooja says. “If you’re going to build something, build it in a way that’s standard and portable a cross multiple services" “There’s a lot of free labor that runs the fediverse right now,” Ahooja says. “So let’s make sure people are getting compensated.”
