Yay! The @oggcamp main stage schedule is in draft form, and looking *really* fun and interesting! More to come soon!

@liaizon oh wait, I found it... and some of them I wanted to add are issues/prs already.

Hey @liaizon remind me where the source for Fedi Iconography is? Looking to add some logos (stegodon, ties, activitypub, fedi logos themselves).

@lxplm streamed, bought - <general grievous> this will make a fine addition to my Navidrome server…

@lxplm have you considered also using Bandwagon, and sharing a track as an example via The Indie Beat Radio?

I'll just leave this here @davidoclubb 😉 #tootwales (unfortunately I didn’t bring enough with me to share this evening!)

Congratulations to @teamtoot on today's launch of their new Tŵt app!

A speaker addresses an audience in a conference room. Two individuals stand facing a large screen displaying the message, "Communities depend on platforms that do not share their values."

A group of people are seated and standing in a modern venue with large screens displaying information about a community app. Attendees appear engaged, with some using their phones, while others listen attentively.

Next up @michael is up talking about the launch of the Qlub app and the Tŵt app, and how US tech giants don't share the same community values of the towns and communities we live in. #TootWales

You're here because you care, or you really like pies!

@jaz and the Team Twt staff care too.

If #TootWales or the broader open social web gives you what you need, provides you with connections that are meaningful to you, or brings you joy - tell your friends!

An assortment of promotional materials for "twt," including a stack of cards, several red buttons with the "twt" logo, a sticker reading "twt cymru," and a hashtag sticker #DEFAIDODON.

The #TootWales event has all the goodies to help to spread the word!

@jaz that's a very handsome... Shirt! 😊

A magazine cover for "Linux Magazine," Issue 304 from March 2026. The cover features bold text about "Streaming in the Fediverse," emphasizing freedom with Navidrome and Funkwhale. Below, there are headlines for various other articles.”

I saw the cover of the current @linuxmagazine “Streaming in the Fediverse”, and I’m a bit disappointed at the actual coverage of #Fediverse music services and the community of musicians - it is primarily a feature on *Navidrome* (which is great, but not […]
