Good news everyone! We hit our first milestone: maintenance is 100% funded. Thank you all ❤️

Next up: unlock the stretch goal to co‑design federated groups: community‑owned spaces to organise across the fediverse, with no server or platform lock‑in.

Read about why this matters and how it can empower communities: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/why-community-matters-groups-as-the-next-step-for-the-fediverse/

The new overview over followers from big #media accounts in the #Fediverse:

@tazgetroete &
@tagesschau are big on #Friendica, #Hubzilla seems very German.

@ProPublica & @arstechnica are big on #Hometown, but the latter is the largest almost everywhere.

@mediapart seems very much concentrated on #Mastodon, @heiseonline is the only one seen from #Bluesky & the largest on #Mostr (comparable to @tagesschau)

Three are from germany, they have an overlap of roughly 30k followers. But the rest not so much, for example just a couple of hundred between the french and the german ones.

And did you see? Three of the five are on their own instance, having much more control about their presence in the #Fediverse.

My post traveling through the #Fediverse got another push over the weekend (thx @pallenberg), motivating me to have another look. And surprise: After adding the software of multiple instances, #Sharkey came in before #Bluesky. 🥳

IMPORTANT: are we really going to let this campaign fail at 90 percent of its goal? @bonfire needs our support. Rather than buying useless stuff for these holidays, I'd better suggest to give something to these folks working for community's good. We can't let it go at 27.12 euro let's do 30.000!!! #fediverse #community #tech #mutualaid #crowdfunding #help #FollowerPower

Hey #fediverse people, I've an ask: If you appreciate all that I do for the fediverse and open social web, and you'd like to see me continue to do that work, please support my work financially.

Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet.

I need €60-70k per year to support myself, with costs everywhere feeling increased (so that number may even be too low)

Right now, year to date, I've received a total of €20,170 in financial support from the community, and €22,450 from NLNet grants. I've also only had minimal freelance work this year, as I've been busy on grant work & try to focus on the fediverse & open social web.

So my total income isn't yet enough to be regularly sustainable. I've had problems being able to make rent payments this year because cashflow on grants comes in large chunks usually months after the work has been done.

So if you want to see me keep doing what I'm doing, please support my work!
