For stewards of the fediverse (they sound like superheroes, right?), FediForum is a key date on the calendar. The third edition of the “unconference” is happening soon, on March 19-20, 2024. With Threads saying it will federate later this year, FediForum comes at a time of growing curiosity and promises juicy topics and demos.
What are the issues that are top of mind for the developers and leaders in this movement? What needs to happen for the fediverse to cross the chasm from early adopters to the mainstream? What are the opportunities for entrepreneurs, and how should they think about business models in the Fediverse?
Johannes Ernst, one of FediForum’s founders and an entrepreneur himself as the CEO of Dazzle Labs, discusses these questions and more in this episode of Dot Social, a podcast hosted by Flipboard CEO Mike McCue. Johannes’ projects also include FediTest, a test suite for the fediverse, and The Fediverse Developer Network.
Highlights of this conversation include:
• FediForum top-of-mind topics
• what it will take to bring people to the fediverse
• the business model for the open social web
• importance of strong use cases
• ways to solve spam attacks
• governance questions and ideas
