An interesting experiment is taking place within the #Fediverse: the development of small intentional communities that only connect to one another, and no one else. https://wedistribute.org/2025/03/website-league-island-networks/
We will be attending Fediverse House, an event put together by @Flipboard and @npub1ekk7...vy6m, on March 9th and 10th in Austin, Texas. Come out and say hi!

ICYMI: We're hosting a #NodeBB forum now at forum.wedistribute.org. It's kind of an experiment for now, as we're playing around with combining a community message board with the wider #Threadiverse. If this is of interest to you, feel free to sign up and start chatting! It's pretty quiet at the moment.
@npub1568w...d5ss was one of the greatest artist projects to ever hit the network. With an unprecedented ethos and a fanatical approach to building and supporting the music community, it became an institution. Today, we remember and honor RFF. https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/radio-free-fedi-shuts-down/
