Welcome back to another update. Some short housekeeping notes: Last Week in Fediverse will now release every Wednesday. Furthermore, I’ve split all news about Bluesky and the ATmosphere into it’s own separate newsletter, Last Week in the ATmosphere. I originally wanted to keep them together, but the newsletters were simply getting too big, so it was time to split them. Lots of news this week with FediForum, a Fediverse Discovery Project, and mozilla.social shutting down, so lets dive in.

I can’t say I ever really understood what Newsmast is up to, but Channel.org looks pretty nifty. It seems like a good way for organisations consisting of several independent people to get together and present all their federated content in one public channel.
“Bluesky has managed to grow significantly bigger than the fediverse at this point, with around 5 times as many monthly active users, as well as onboarding the Brazilian community. It seems to me that it is worth reflecting on why that is, and how the fediverse can better show itself as a good, ethical social network that people would like to join.”
Yeah, why is that? On the one hand, LGBTQ is strong in the Fediverse, and tech nerds of course. But other than that … the Fediverse never had this kind of cultural momentum.
Which Mastodon instance should the Brazilian users have joined?
ursal.zone
mastodon.com.br
masto.donte.com.br
cwb.social (Curitiba)I guess mastodon.social? Its not only the Brazilians, its also BTS army, and the japanese community. They also went to Bluesky instead of Fedi. Maybe the fediverse is too euro-centric?
Maybe at some point swifties could join the Fediverse?
I used to watch “This Week in Tech” with Leo Laporte, before I realized he was a massive douche. And he always shortened his show name to TwiT.
I tried to do the same thing with your show name, and got “LwiF”, which when I said it outloud made me sound like I was inventing a new french word. Say it outloud. It’s fun to say. LWIF!
