There are 14 million total accounts on the fediverse that @fedidb measures; that’s a ~40% increase over the last two years!

…but there’s a lot more the fediverse can do to grow.

@evan is live now discussing this in the @fedicon track of FOSSY.

https://ubc.ca.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=90a26e9a-8dd4-439b-9941-b49d01781e51

We’re at FediCon to learn and share how the fediverse can use open source tools to help keep those 14 million accounts safe from the harms that affect every online service.

UK digital infrastructure can be used as leverage or disrupted on his say so.

We need interoperable open-source systems, so we're not locked in to services owned and controlled by foreign tech firms.
