In my new article "The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition" I discuss the key role of the Fediverse in this political and cultural climate... and argue that digital sovereignty and the ability to self-host are now more important than ever:

Plus I had a chance to look back at my Fediverse advocacy in 2025 😊

Psst: my Ghost blog is now federated (@ele) thanks to @jannis and his amazing MagicPages (@hey) 🥳 🪄 📄

Thanks for the post! ❤️ Grateful to play a tiny part helping with translation. 😅

One nitpick on this:

"I plan to translate this in foreign languages."

*Any* language is always a *foreign* language to someone. A language that is foreign to you and me could be a 1st language for someone else. With that in mind, I suggest more inclusive phrasing such as:

"...translate this into languages foreign to me."

OR

"...translate this into other languages."

Hope this helps!

@nacly great suggestion Pen - I will fix it ASAP (currently looking after my little one because it’s a holiday here) 😅

Regarding your mention of Zoom, have you tried just using the web browser? They *do* try pretty firmly to get you to use the app, but I have had good results with that; admittedly, I haven't needed to use the more advanced features. Combine that with an otherwise blank or mostly-blank throwaway browser profile and you should look pretty bland to them. Definitely works if you are just a participant, as opposed to a presenter, in the meeting.

Greetings fellow Ghost blogger, great post! We're on similar journeys I think 😊 Interested to hear more about how you got Ghost to federate!

@laura hi Laura! I'm LOVING Ghost v6.

I could not have upgraded on my own as a newbie with zero knowledge of Docker. I tried to learn but eventually gave up and went with @jannis 's SUPERB Magic Pages: magicpages.co

I could not be happier! 😊

Ah yes the self-hosting maintenance! 😅 So I need to upgrade by the looks of it, on my list! Thank you 😊
