Among the fediverse there are microblogs (your Mastodons, Misskeys(+forks), etc.

Then there are the long form peeps. We managed to all find each other at FOSDEM 2025.

Pictured is @matt@writing.exchange (Write freely), @pfefferle@mastodon.social (WordPress), and yours truly (NodeBB). We also had some good conversations with @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz (Ghost), but I wasn't quick enough with my camera 😩

Let's move the state of long-form text on the open social web, forward!

I should also mention that we had great conversations with the Mastodon team (hi @renchap@oisaur.com and @dave@upp2.com!), and their commitments to working towards better support for long-form text is evident.

Good vibes all around.

@julian @renchap @dave 👋 Thanks for growing the options for communication and making free and interconnected communities possible.

Lastly, there are so many others in the long-form text space who were not at FOSDEM, but are open and willing to work together!

@rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz (PieFed), @scott@authorship.studio (Hubzilla), Mike MacGirvin (whose handle I forget at the moment) and so many more.

Just because you weren't here does not mean you were forgotten. Your software was mentioned and discussed too!

@julian @matt @pfefferle I heard @johnonolan is related to Sonic The Hedgehog, he's fast (... at shipping great code and designs). Big fan of all y'all long form peeps are bringing to the Fediverse!
