@bajabanjo @oconnell @pluralistic Hi there! Yes, everything was recorded and the #FediverseHouse videos are currently being edited (there's a lot of footage!). We'll let folks know here and on our @surf channel where to find everything when it's posted. In the meantime, you can find @mike's conversation with @molly0xfff on the #SXSW site here:

https://schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154.

Missing #hackadayeurope as I couldn’t justify doing that trip on top of #SXSW, so I’m watching David Cuartielles keynote on TV instead.

If you missed @molly0xfff's #SXSW conversation with @mike about digital sovereignty, you missed out — one audience member said it was "worth the badge alone." Luckily, it's now available on the SXSW site. Check it out here:

https://schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154

We're working on editing all the #FediverseHouse panels and talks, and we'll post them and let you know here as soon as they're ready!

@mike's terrific fireside chat with @molly0xfff on digital sovereignty, aka technological self-determination (taking control of your digital life and data), is up on the SXSW site. Don’t sleep on this talk, especially if you’re a writer or other kind of creator. With plenty of high-quality Q&A too, one person in the audience said it was “worth the badge.”

(We’re working on getting all the panels and talks from the #FediverseHouse edited and posted. We’ll be back when they’re up.)

A few more shots taken in-between sessions at the #FediverseHouse on Monday.

Little known fact: @evan and I worked at a startup in 2020 that never launched. It wasn't a great experience for me, but I loved the team we had hired, including Evan. I didn't know much then about #activitypub or the social web.

I went back to @Flipboard in 2021 and in 2023 I started to learn about #federation because of @mike's vision. Fast forward to 2025, Flipboard + @surf are organizing #SXSW's first #FediverseHouse. Evan was one of the first people to sign on, which created a snowball from there, which helped the event be a success.

This week, we got to meet IRL for the first time! So when I think about "the purpose" of that hard 10 months at that startup, I now know what it was.

In Zeit Online, Eva Wolfangel's devastating report from #SXSW: Like it's 2023, "back when one could still innocently predict the future at tech conferences without taking into account burgeoning fascism." Again, Zeit Online's coverage of our fall is better than our own.

Was mich hier echt bedrückt, ist die Abwesenheit von Diskussionen um die US-Politik auf den großen Bühnen. Auf der SXSW wird in jeder zweiten Session die Zukunft vorhergesagt. Wie geht das ohne den Faschismus mit in die Rechnung zu nehmen? Hier sind jede Menge wirklich etablierte bekannte Leute, die Einfluss hätten - wenn sie ihn nutzen würden. Hier habe ich gelernt, wieso sie es nicht tun. Und das ist frustrierend. Hier mein aktueller Text dazu.

Just closed the #fediversehouse at #sxsw after two amazing days. Loved being IRL with so many people who are building the open social web together. Let’s do it again next year!

Be still my beating heart! New @pluralistic stan over here. The man is seriously brilliant and I could listen to him all day. Can't wait to get the recording of his talk out into the world. #FediverseHouse #fediversehouse2025 #sxsw #sxsw2025

I really appreciated the opportunity to take part in the first ever #FediverseHouse at #SXSW. Online connections are good, and then IRL connections deepen the trust. Thanks to the @Flipboard team for getting it together (and @surf is looking excellent, nice work!). Thanks to @swf for helping me to join the event. Many many individuals all made it a great in-person ideas jam. 2025 is looking strong for our communities.

With @Flipboard adding Bluesky integration to its @surf app, I wanted to resurface my hands-on review published earlier this year.

Hands-On with Surf: Flipboard’s New App Makes Discovering Content in the Fediverse Easier

I had a great time at @Flipboard Fediverse House this evening, thanks for having me! Cheers to @miaq and the team, and it was fab to meet @jasonkoebler from @404mediaco and @parkerortolani on my panel. The conversations gave me a lot to think about.

Also enjoyed @pluralistic's talk and appreciated that you stayed for our panel after. Let's break kings. :) #SXSW

At the #FediverseHouse at #SXSW for the @404mediaco takeover. Support independent media!

A common conservative trope — and "justification" for anti-trans behavior and lawmaking — is the idea that cis-men will pretend they're trans in order to sneak into women's locker rooms. So trans filmmaker Siobhan McCarthy made it the premise of their movie, "She's the He." The Amanda Bynes comedy "She's the Man" had spoken to them deeply as a teenager and sparked a conversation with friend and co-editor Will Geare about trans stories they wished they'd seen when they were younger. “I made a joke about, what if we took that conservative fear of [trans people] going into the bathrooms and we really played that out?” McCarthy told @Variety. Here's more about the resulting movie, which received a standing ovation at South By Southwest.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was incredible, not at all what I expected but exactly what I was hoping for. 10/10 #sxsw

In 15 minutes I’ll be on stage at #FediverseHouse #SXSW to talk about building communities on the social web, alongside Rose from Bluesky and Leila from The Onion.
