"Looking ahead at 2025

What do I plan to do in 2025?

My enthusiasm for the Fediverse keeps growing with each passing day. In the coming weeks, I plan to write about:

  • my experiences self-hosting with GoToSocial
  • PeerTube (the Fediverse’s alternative to YouTube)
  • The Friends plugin for Wordpress by Alex Kirk, which allows you to put your Wordpress site at the center of your online activities
  • Mobilizon: a Fediverse project that helps you find, create and organize events
  • Matrix.org: a Fediverse-adjacent open network for secure, decentralized communications

And so much more! There are several Fediverse projects like Hubzilla and Pleroma that I keep hearing about and have yet to try."--

i don't want wordpress.

Me neither, but a lot of folks do (or at least think they do), and if this makes it an approachable gateway into the larger fediverse for them, I'm all for it.

They can always switch to something better, later.
