This is all a bit of an experiment. And we know that some people don't share our general vision of the need to grow the open social web. That's cool. But this event isn't for you. For those interested in brainstorming ideas, come join us and join the conversation.

Got Ideas For Growing The Open Social Web? Bring Them.
Register here for our Growing the Open Social Web Un-Workshop. For over three years now, since Elon Musk decided to spend $44 billion turning Twitter into his personal playground, we've been watching the open social web slowly, sometimes painfully, come into its own. Bluesky. Mastodon. The broader ATmosphere and fediverse along with a few other experiments (nostr! farcaster!). These aren't just tech experiments anymore—they're real alternatives that millions of people use every day.
