Much of this work depends on individuals who recognise the value of sharing their knowledge, texts, media, and personal archives. Their willingness to contribute makes these addition to open knowledge possible. (n/n)

A screenshot of a digital notification panel with a dark background. The top header contains the word "Notices" next to a small white icon, with the text "Mark all as read" on the right. Below the header, a single notification includes a blue icon on the left and a small blue dot on the right. The text within the notification reads, "You just made your hundred thousandth edit; thank you for your amazing contributions!"

Matrix underpins public sector comms across Europe, yet only one govt agency commits to support the standard they all rely on.

#NRC is among the most respected Dutch newspapers and their setting up a #mastodon server is a beacon on the path to a democratic #digitalcommons

Short term it shows it is indeed possible for any modest organization not to be hostage to remote techbro overlords.

Longer term it means probing […]

Closing the FediFlick series: an open door, not a pitch. @flickrfdn.bsky.social, we seem to be working on the same problem from different directions. AGPL, no funding ask, just a conversation. Part five of five.

An Open Door, Not a Pitch
Closing the FediFlick series: memory, audience, tool, and shared legacy. A transparent, low-pressure invitation to collaborate with Flickr Foundation.

82% of Flickr members have considered their legacy. 12% have acted. Flickr Foundation's Data Lifeboat, built for this, went unmaintained in July. Care alone doesn't fund durability.

Stepping back from Flickr was never about the app, it was a practice. This names who it's actually for: documentarians, photojournalists, genealogists, older adults using reminiscence therapy.

Who FediFlick Archive Is Actually For
FediFlick Archive is for digital image storytellers, not photographers: people who hold onto family, place, and memory through photographs, not portfolios.
