Happy 10th Birthday Friendica!
Ten years ago the 1st commit to the git repository of Mistpark was made by Mike Macgirvin, a project that since has become Friendica accumulating some 27.000 commits contributing the work of more then 250 people from all around the world.Mistpark and Friendica themes from 2010 to 2020
Together we have build a social media platform that had many faces over the years. It has grown from a decentralized communication platform into an integral part of the Fediverse and Federation. Allowing its users to interact with their friends and family across the borders of nodes, projects and physical distance outside the world of data-harvesting corporations.
Thank you Mike and everybody else who has contributed their time to the project over the years! And while we are preparing the 2020.06 release of Friendica, lets have a big party to celebrate ten years of this wonderful part of the free social web.

Here's MoodleNet, the world's first federated social network for educators, a decentralised digital commons.
I've taken this as Product Manager from zero to one, and leave Moodle on Friday.
The team is calling this v1.0 beta and proud of what we've achieved. Unfortunately the management seem to think it's "alpha quality". You decide...

It's great to see people turning to decentralized and self-hosted communication tools at a time when they are more important than ever!
#Prosody installations have doubled since mid-March. We suspect a lot of these are #Jitsi setups, partly fuelled by increasing discomfort with a lack of privacy in centralized commercial services.
Data is from the Debian popcon service, so only represents a small part of the picture (Debian systems that have opted into reporting their package installation and usage data).
