I've never been more excited about the future of the social web than I am today.

If you're developing on AT Proto or ActivityPub I want to reassure that your work will make a difference. Big wheels are turning.

What kind of blogs do you want to see / wish existed on Leaflet? What topics do you really want to read about more?

I'd love to either try to find examples or share these ideas as inspiration for ppl to try making new kinds of publications!

It’s #GivingTuesday! 💛💰 Let’s support the local, independent and non-profit newsrooms that keep our communities informed.
Great thread of indie outlets to support today and every day, with your clicks and your cash. 💰

(Drop us a DM if you're a publisher who'd like to join Flipboard and we'll get you set up!)
today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️

drop links to your own or your faves in the replies so ppl can easily sign up (bonus if you add a couple words about why it’s good!):

Even in the darkest times, there is always something to celebrate.

This year our team held a turkey-less Thanksgiving dinner amidst a winter power blackout, while sharing our thoughts on what we are thankful for.

Later, Nastia visited one of Ukraine's few turkey farms.
